A breezy romance by the seaside beach perched on a silver smooth worn bench, the delights of ice creams melts like their hearts. They edged closer and tasted the melting sweet ice cream together and then the stars appeared or so it seemed.
beautiful story of a light romance by the sea breeze and dark summers night did turned so bright for these two lovers.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

    Welcome Sharyn.

    Have a great Easter and watch them chocolates and the bathroom weighing scale. No cheating or your weight will tell on you, LOL.
    Cheerio, Ritchie.

    No wonder you are so happy nowadays due to your weight loss. Slim is 'in' and obese is great and meant out of breath while walking.
    have a great day, Ritchie.

What an excellent saucy free verse of lust and love.

favourite lines....

sitting on the bench worn silver smooth
by salt and sea, and breezy ocean blues
he watches her,
as chocolate ice cream drips
in little skips
and kisses
down the sugar cone
across her lips,
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 ...

great job
GL in the contest.

Regards
Tia

Ooo, I like this romantic poem. I can see the gentle glow and flicker of the sunlight as it fades on the beach. The description of the chocolate ice cream melting done in a wonderfully sensuous way. Sigh.

Aww, Sharyn, this is so beautiful. You have painted a picture here in words. The imagery is amazing, the chocolate slipping onto fingers, waiting to be licked off, not wasting any, and then the chocolate doube-dapples kisses
it is so lovely. Can't give you a 6! A lovely delicious poem to read. :) xsx Sandra

I love to read poems of love like this. It's strange though because I've never known love, but I long for it so much. Exactly how love should be and how it should feel races through my mind wild. You have some very warm and slightly erotic stanzas in this poem. They work very well in invoking the feelings meant to be felt. Right down to the guy noticing her licking her cone. Kudos. ;)

    I think the ideal is far different from reality, Bryan - yet we continue to hold on to this "lambent" picture, right? But always fun to idealize and write about! :)Sharyn

This work has reached the exceptional level

Is there anything you can't do? This is just amazing. I began reading "another love poem" and ended on a masterwork. The language is just so elegant and alive and breaths as if the people were in front of us, acting on their attraction beneath "the first sugared stars showering the dark of summer's lambent loving." Perfect phrasing, perfect language, perfect alliteration, perfect imagery, perfect story-telling. Like Mary Poppins, this is practically perfect in every way. Excellent work deserving of more than six stars. Am I being effusive?
