Gliding

We glided, We rolled, We circled the rink, Smooth, orderly throng Of teens young-naïve; Shyly, boys glanced At girls slipping past, Hearts drumming firm For couple’s skate time, When lights faded dim And music beat slowed, When dolled, giddy girls Convened in a row While orbiting boys Gathered the mettle To approach a pert face, Suggesting it skate. Then, hand taking hand, Boy feeling grand, They circled the rink, They glided, They rolled.

David,,* Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
