Lemonade Breeze

Evening sighs
seducing my warm latte summer skin
fragrant dreams dance
floating ribbons through pink grapefruit sky.
Honey hued eyes gleam
in the moonglow
my strawberry lips surrender
sweet nectar that drips off your tongue.
Waves of delight melt into steaming sand
as cotton candy foam
I drink in your laughter
light as a sparkling lemonade breeze.

Hi Loreli,

Welcome back, it's been awhile, good to see you posting work again.

I love this write, you got me with "my warm latte summer skin"...my fav.

Two things,

should the word "seduces" be "seduce", since "Evening sighs" are plural?

and that word "like" (I hate the word like!):

imo

"fragrant dreams dance
floating like ribbons through pink grapefruit sky."

"fragrant dreams dance,
floating ribbons through pink grapefruit sky."

and

"Waves of delight melt into steaming sand
like cotton candy foam"

"Waves of delight melt into steaming sand
as cotton candy foam"

or something like that; just my opinion.

Your poem shouts of summer and desire.

Thank you Jim!

You are so correct, I thank you for your suggestions, I will make changes ASAP! Should it be.. seducing? I will take out the word like...it don't really "like" it either! LOL

I appreciate your warm welcome back!

hi loreli

I'm not averse to the word "like' as long as not used too often in same write. I read this sensuous write and saw where I might have done a few things differently, but not better lol.............scribble

Hi Raj,

good to see you also! Wrote this in the dead of winter when I was daydreaming about growing up on Lake Michigan and how it felt with one of my teenage crushes....
Thank you so much for stopping by to comment.
