It started with conversation
and coffee, of course, and kissing
before we drove a bit northward
to enjoy the day puttering
and the night in contemplation,
of admissions of love.

About This Poem
Last Few Words: This is a Compliment style poem. It's a form I invented some years back and consists of a pacing of: 6-8-8-8-8-8-6 Where the title is meant to be part of the read and the whole thing is structured to simulate a breath. I refer to this as passion poetry and the goal is to capture a moment, a feeling, a pause and highlight it.
Style/Type: Structured: Western

Hi there!
Short, simple and yet it produced a vivid imagery of the moment. Thanks for sharing.

Hmmmmm...
Sounds like... someone might have had a little fun-filled episode on the weekend! Nice form! ~ Gee
This feels so much more human
ans less clinical than most of your work.
Is something happening in your life?
I like it a lot, simple, elegant and effective. I may try a 'Pugilet' myself.
Not a word or syllable out of place, Im sorry I can offer no suggestions.
Except by my count, if it is syllables it is 8-8-8-8-8-6

A story in a strict format, as Jess asked has something happened to you lol.
He also forgot to include the title in his syllable count.
Your freedom of thought may be a love has been rekindled ???
We is being nosey again please forgive.
Loved the piece, Yours Ian.T
