windswept smiles

Notice of absence from arqios
πŸ•Š πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

 

long, top-down drives
even shirtless-tans
sweet strawberry-kisses and
glorious watermelon stains

laughter lifting through the trees
glimpses of sun-blest promises
sugar-coated whispers
catching in the breeze

fruit bowls, waterholes
and refreshing icy poles
interlacing fingers share
starry nights and lazy days

      Full of forgotten images of youth and past days. I was most intrigued with your opening lines
      long, top-down drives
      even shirtless-tans
      sweet strawberry-kisses and
      glorious watermelon stains
      Here the imagery first line is reinforced in the second, a top down drive (in a convertible) is seen as a top down in shirtless tans. Sweet strawberry kisses is seen in the red watermelon stains of the second line. This is most ingenious and certainly most poetic on another level. My congratulations and a fave

            lovely done, your poem revolves around summer activities and experiences, such as enjoying fruits, laughter, and leisure time spent with loved ones. It paints a vivid picture of sunny days, playful interactions, and the warmth of human connection.
