First Kiss

Absorbed as the first droplet of rain To parched desert cactus flower Quenching such ravenous thirst To be sweetly savored Remembered always In loving thought Only one Your first Kiss

Beautifully done!!! I envy your ability to write with such regimen. I occasionally venture from my comfort zone and try other forms.... alas.... I always drift back into rhyming where Jake finds the writing much easier.... You show real talent in this form..... Love Ya.... Jake
