Summer Road

Sun's full glory cuts through the trees
Eating mist upon the path
I see your smile, feel mine as well
As we race beneath the trees in early dawn

So vivid are the smells
So brilliant are the trees
Blossoming our excitement
As fall the autumn leaves

Wading through the babbling brook
Feel the crisp cool breeze
Smell earth’s majesty
We're almost there

Hand in hand we reach the end
Of forest's winding pass
We wave goodbye
And say hello to paths we've come and trod

I pull you over
To love you so
And hold you in my arms
Wishing ever to see your smile

An impish glance
A sudden impulse
I can't resist
And whisper in your ear

"You're it"

And steal a kiss
Then run along
With you beside
The road we tread

Full of happiness and bliss
(option #2)

    Welcome to AllPoetry!

    VERY nice. Good work. I have two logic questions: 1) In line 7, who or what is blossoming? It could be you and your companion. Not many trees blossom in Fall.
    and 2) Further down in the poem, y’all have waved goodbye but you are still able to pull him/her over. Maybe you ‘pretend’ to wave goodbye
    It sounds like a positively wonderful walk made by two people young, playful and in love. It should happen to us all. Again, Welcome.

    Hello Livingstorm,

    I love your name.

    In your first line, I think "throough" is supposed to be "through"?

    You speak of vivid smells and brilliant trees, I would have liked to see you describe these things.. I think the more detail you give, the more the reader is drawn in.

    At one point, I thought they were going to go down different paths, but then the story changed. I didn't feel a good transition between the two thoughts. I think that if you elaborate and develop the story a little bit more, the reader would follow along a little better.

    I did enjoy the thought of one stealing a kiss and a life of happily ever after.

    Good luck in the contest poet,
    Criss

    How fun! One can see the images you give us! Great job! I really enjoyed the fun and love in this one! I would hate to see this DQ'd because of something as simple as no option in your notes. Please correct this. If you are unsure of how to do this, I would be glad to walk you through the steps.

    Best of luck in this contest!

      Hmm...I thought I had made a comment of which option it was, but apparently not. I edited it and left the option in parenthesis on the bottom. Do you think that will be enough? thanks so much for the time in reading my poem I really do appreciate it!

    A very sweet write. I really like the innocnet feeling to this (stealing kisses). One little suggestion, you may want to add the option number to your AN, I wouldn't want to see this get DQ'd. Best of luck in the contest!

    Welcome to Allpoetry!

    This was an absolutely-delightful read, and it made me smile! I love your use of description, especially that mischievious feeling that was so present here. your descriptions were very vivid, and I felt as though I were there with you, breathing the same air and listening to the babble of the brook. Fantastic use of imagery here!

    my only correction:

    "Throough" in the first line should be "through".

    Well done, and I look forward to reading more of your work! Welcome aboard the AP crazy-train!

    The soft urgency of this poem is beautiful - it is such an innocent and joyful feeling that comes through your words and I completely enjoyed the experience! The only thing that I wouls pick you up on is that there is a spelling mistake of 'through' in the first line, probably just a typo this is such an adorable poem - it jsut makes me happy! I wish you the best of luck in the contest!

    Keep writing

    I love the imagery you've created here. The piece honestly made me happy. I love autumn! Anyway, although I liked the piece and they diction, I felt like the flow was a little off throughout the whole thing and to be comepletely honest, based on the feeling of the piece, it needs a harmonic flow, if you know what I mean. Otherwise, seriously, wonderful work.
