This was an absolutely adorable poem for the "5-7-5 romance" writing prompt. It really captured the innocence of that first love. You also got the syllable counts right. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This 5-7-5 beautifully captures a moment of shared intimacy and enchantment. The imagery of "perched upon that fence" evokes a sense of closeness and nostalgia, while "arms wrapped around each other" conveys warmth and affection. The final line, "spellbound all summer," perfectly encapsulates the timeless and magical nature of their experience.
