It's a lovely poem. Very sensual but not in the erotic sense as you're implying with your title. You wrote about missing summer? Very cleaver. I my be wrong but there is where my mind went. :-)

Thanx for your read and review, Rickie -- always appreciate your stopping by! :) ;) Although it's meant to be a bit more than you've written here...but if that is how it spoke to you, than I am glad you enjoyed the sensuality of the seasons, sir! :) :) Have a wonderful weekend! :) Yvette :)

I love this - so evocative and emotive. The longing drips from every word, and the reader doesn't need to know why the lover isn't there - the power is in how much he or she is missed. Excellent work.

Oh,Sandra -- I am so very glad you got out of this that for which I was aiming!! :) You know, I wrote this one on a rainy day when I already had 'the blues' ... not a broken heart, just the occasional 'female thang' (seems no matter how old we get, the hormones still catch up to us once in a while, doesn't it?!! lol) ... but it made the mood and word choice more 'straight forward'. :) ;) :) Thanx, as always, for dropping by and be sure to have great start to the weekend filled with adventures of the heart or of the mind (or both!!)! :) :) Yvette :)

You did a great job with this. You're very artistic! I can just see someone walking outside and I imagine them thinking these thoughts. Great contest entry. Good luck!

Hi there,

There is a beauty in your words that bring to life the love of youth.

Sometimes, being separated for even a few hours would evoke such strong feelings of 'missing' that special person.

Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest,

~MP~

A beautiful love poem without being sappy. My favorite is 'your kiss was in the rain.' I love rain, so this really hit the spot with me.

Good luck in the contest.

Yes, I do NOT do sappy, damommy...just nope. LOL! :) You know, I wrote this one on a rainy day when I already had 'the blues' ... not a broken heart, just the occasional 'female thang' (seems no matter how old we get, the hormones still catch up to us once in a while, don't they?!! lol) ... but it made the mood and word choice more 'straight forward'. :) ;) :) Thanx, as always, for dropping by and be sure to have great start to the weekend filled with adventures of the heart or of the mind (or both!!)! :) :) Yvette :)

Good luck in the Minute Poetry Contest. The picture was a wonderful choice and it said so very much in itself. Your words drew on so many emotions- joy, love, a hint of anger, peace, anxiety and frustration. This was well done, thanks so much for sharing.

Verrry good job on this. I love the way you handled the common "my love has gone away" theme. "Kiss in the rain" and "Breath on the breeze" are both very effect phrases. Well done and good luck! :)

This is a beautiful written minute poem you have composed. perfect syllable count across all lines. perfect rhyme scheme. sad to hear...the yearning of lost love, but the memory of them lingers.

great job and good luck in the contest

regards
Tia

your writing always connects with me. it just does. three tiers, three physical expressions floating on natures gifts. and an intangible mood is the result. Cosmic, Yvette...............meeshu

Uh, wow?!!! :) :) Thanx for the six shining stars, sir, but mostly for the lovely comments - I am so very glad this touched you as it did! ;) :) You know, I wrote this one on a rainy day when I already had 'the blues' ... not a broken heart, just the occasional 'female thang' (seems no matter how old we girls get, the hormones and, perhaps, circumstances still catch up to us once in a while!! lol) ... but it made the mood and word choice more 'straight forward'. :) ;) :) I am a sunshine gal and when I get feeling down and can't have my sunshine on my face, I feel, I don't know, sadly disconnected...if that makes any sense. This poem just gave me an outlet for those heavy emotions......it's okay, you can just chalk it up to the weird blonde again!! LOL! But, this crazy blonde thanx you for the smile today and wishes you and Cyndy a great remainder of the week filled with adventures of the heart or of the mind (or both!!)! :) :) Blessings! Yvette :)
