Notes About The Poem

- Our First Kiss -

*                          *
                                  Under the            red umbrella
                               The young and beautiful Annabella
                              Small rain drops with shades of blue
                            A lovely memory to remember with you

                                  The rain that came from above
                                              was pure love
                                     Love, honesty and respect
                                      what we always expect

                                         This summer's night
                                       our first kiss goodnight
                                           The way we feel
                                               always real
                                                  *     *
                                                     *

Ah, Sunshine, what a lovely "first kiss." Perhaps you also had to change your poem to a rhyme form, and it works beautifully. Love the Heart shape as well. Sending winning wishes your way. Hugs, Carolyn

Hi Anne-Lise, see the write has changed, and what an anazing change it is, to rhyme. An excellent new poem The Contest). I feel that this write will do well in the contest, good luck. I did wonder if you would change the original. This is an excellent write, the words paint such beautiful imagery in such a gentle song. A journey through your words is like a journey through the stars, Heavenly. A fave Anne-Lise. Have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Each one so far different, amazing how we all interpret the picture.I thought not many words rhyme with umbrella but you found one, who can ever not remember that first kiss. Good luck. Tom.
