I couldn't decide whether to go and buy an ice cream cone or write this review first. Well done, Sharyn ...you succeeded in whetting my appetite for a delicious desserts.
I say though that any time of season is for lovers, not just summer.

Hey there sweet Sharyn.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful love poem with me (I felt it was just for me it was so expressive.) I loved the artwork, it fits so well. A nice look at their love

Comment from Tonulak
Dear Sharon,
What a "sweet" poem. I liked those little chunks of consonence, like finding little chocolate chunks in your poem. I have a song from my first album called "Wicked" which starts:
"You know my eyes are wicked
They want everything they see
I'd steal a lick
Off your ice cream cone
Sitting under a shady tree":)
I enjoyed your poem very much--Ted

Comment from rama devi
Delightfully sensual and descriptive, dear Sharyn.
Love the bouncy beat and fine alliteration, etc. Especially on S and B in the first few lines. Outstanding proximal rhymes scattered everywhere...superb assonance of I as well:
sitting on the bench worn silver smooth
by salt 'n sea 'n breezy ocean blues,
he watches her,
as chocolate ice cream drips
in little skips 'n kisses
down the sugar cone,
across her lips 'n
just a little sticky,
lingers tripping on her fingers
but she doesn't mind at all
for she licks them, one by one
softly smiling, teasing
in the last peach
of burnished beach
sunset afternoon ...
Excellent prelude building a crescendo of scene and emotional setting that leads to this dramatic pause and insight:
she knows
he's watching
he knows
she's waiting
he slides
a little closer
Nice return to setting-
as gulls cry high
and glide down
to the shadowed sands of evening, seeking rest,
nested heads tucked warm beneath their wings
Love the last two lines with superb descriptive phrasing and alliteration of S and W.
Love this...
the first sugared stars
showering the dark of
summer's
lambent
loving
Sugared stars---superbly original and effective title and closing imagery...
Nice alliterative flair everywhere, and in the closing lambent loving too.
Enjoyed! And usually I do not get drawn in to romantic poems, so the fact that this made me not only see the scene but feel it, too, plus the creative musicality and cleverness in crafting, leads me to award that rare six... Kudos!
Love,
rd

Comment from hifein
this is a beautifully constructed poem. i loved the free verse and the way you integrated the internal rhyme and the flow from one line into the next. it reads smoothly and interestingly as a mini romantic tale portending 'lambent loving'. lots of great alliteration and assonance (skips and kisses, gulls glide, shadowed sands). it is clear that every word was carefully selected. presentation enhanced poetry. worthy of a six.

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
This is very 'sweet' and a well done poem. The picture makes me think of my Huntington Beach in CA and the pier we spent so much time on. Makes me homesick. Anyway very well done and fun.

Very nice and refreshing. A very unique style of writing romance. Very vivid and teasingly romantic. Loved the couple on the bench.
