Notes About The Poem

This is not the usual sonnet, instead of 10 syllables I used a 12 syllable count throughout, with the first and third lines being repeated at the end. Perhaps my next contest :)

Heart Thumps Linger

Grasping onto the tip of my index finger 
Through her comforting warmth, I can feel her heartbeat 
Emerald green stares back at me- heart thumps linger 
Adorableness overload...and so petite 

At that moment, the beauty of "Life" lifts my hair 
Goosebumps galore cover me, like sand on a beach 
Is soft, her breath- like feathers kissing in mid-air 
So meek her nose, fingers and toes...her skin so peach 

Her one syllable sounds are music to my heart 
Her movements flatter my soul like angels with wings 
Yet, cute is the sound of her "Surprise little "Fart" 
So grateful I am, Lord- for the joy that she brings 

Grasping onto the tip of my index finger 
Emerald green stares back at me- heart thumps linger

A passionate love song. I like the comparison of goosebumps to the sand on a beach. Lovely penning, Charles !
