Tripping in Love

Sophisticated, calm, and cool,
collected--dare I say
A young girl with
a book in hand
daydreaming life away.

A joke, a laugh
a play on words
with pen and paper near
friends left behind
-or rather she-
a loner-thought savvy.

Gentle wind nudging her-
breezing through life's gales;
Trips, falls, face in dirt-
Inhaling-laughs-exhales.

Glance up, there he stands;
And she upon the ground.
Internal frown, a little down,
She grins as her heart sighs
-my God I love his eyes!-

This doesn't really make any sense, haha. It's kind of a metaphor of what I internally felt when I "tripped" into love. I say tripped because there were definitely obstacles that stopped me at first, some self-imposed for complicated reasons. Anyways, I'm just making fun of myself in this.

    This is original, especially with the ending... Throughout the whole poem, it seems so descriptive, and then at the end it's just a certain statement that holds a lot of power. Nicely done!

    Thanks for entering your write in "Enter All Your Love Writes Here!", and good luck!

    Very cute. I love the description of the fall itself
    "Inhaling-laughs-exhales..."
    as well as the last lines when she sees his beautiful eyes. Just very simple and enjoyable overall.

    This is a beautiful piece... the whole thing was just so sweet the only part that I thought could be different was where you had '-though savvy', I think 'although' would make the line flow a tad better - but that is just me and this is your poem and a wonderful one indeed... we all need to be able to make fun of ourselves, and you have done it in a brilliant way, I enjoyed reading this very much!

    Keep writing
