Anna and the French Kiss

She’d kissed a lot of boys, and some kissed great,
but few of those guys understood romance.
She thought she knew what kissing style was best,
but she had not yet met the boy from France!

Into her life one day he sauntered in.
His smile was soft, his eyes as dark as coal.
She thrilled to feel his fingers on her skin
as with his gaze he deeply plumbed her soul.

When their lips touched, she melted into him.
It was a kiss like none she’d known before.
With happiness she filled up to the brim.
The young man was so easy to adore!

Like things most precious, that smooth, tender kiss
was part of Anna’s youth – a fleeting bliss.

I came to your pages specifically looking for your take on this contest. Your imagination never fails to create poetry on any topic, and not quick write poems, but well thought out with your unique talent and ability. I'm trying hard this morning to be inspired as I've the desire to write, but so far I haven't percolated a thing! Love ... CayCay
