One Pleasant July Day

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.

Style / type: 
Structured: Western
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
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.

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

Sounds like... someone might have had a little fun-filled episode on the weekend! Nice form! ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

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

cheers,
Jess
