Thanks, Diane.
And, thanks to Buffy Silverman for hosting Poetry Friday this week on Buffy's Blog.
After the Rain, it all Looked Different
We kissed, that first time. Remember? After
the storm burst--me laughing at the
sight of you slip-sliding in the rain.
Thunder chased us. It
was you, glistening with August raindrops, my all
became your summer soaked face that looked
like love, and since then, I've never known different.

Aww! Love it, Linda!
ReplyDeleteSweet sweet sweet, Linda! I will share this with my husband today. :) What a beautiful moment to capture in a poem. Thank you! xo
ReplyDeleteLovely! (Love-ly!!)
ReplyDeleteIt's a love poem to savor, Linda. Lovely to see that the prompt from Diane brought even more words.
ReplyDeleteLovely! That is quite a love poem.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem, Linda--you've captured a special moment. And this form looks like a fun one to try!
ReplyDeleteWell, you've made me swoon. ^_^
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet poem. Love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my, my heart goes pitter patter. Enjoying the love poems posted by the PF people today. :) There's always something romantic about a rainstorm, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteOh! So beautiful, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI have GOT to try writing one of these. I love a challenge and your poem is fabulous! -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/blog/
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful love poem, Linda. Let's save this one for the summer gallery.
ReplyDeleteLinda, your poem made my heart melt. You've inspired me to give this form a try!
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda, this is fabulous! (And a lot less snarky than my poem!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! So beautiful. I too have recently written my first golden shovel - so already felt a fascination and affinity - but your words... I love how connected and perfectly linked it is, to that borrowed line.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great poem, Linda! Seems you were stepping out and trying on a new form this week like me. I am intrigued by the longing in this poem. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! You've taken kissing in the rain to new heights. I wonder if this is the beginning of a short story?
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm browsing on your blog after too much time away from Poetry Friday and blogging, and discovering treasure after treasure. This is just beautiful, Linda. What a love poem!
