Oh, my Goodness, Zue, your poem really works under the surface. I read it, then go back and read it again. "Licking its sweet aftertaste"! What an image it conjures up of the purity of young romance.

I have to admit I was intending to return the favor to a person who was kind enough to give my Musical, "NYCDoHD Spells Jobs" a try ... but now I'm happy I did choose this poem for its sheer artistic beauty. You can bet I'll be reading more of your posts in the future.

Thanks Jay, my apologies for the very late reply. I have been on and off FanStory, so caught up as a part time Direct Support Professional Care Worker. Thanks a lot for the five stars.

"smell the aroma" helps paint the image of the coffee cup you sip from.

"world was pure" and "sweet aftertaste" assist in illustrating how most "puppy loves" go.

The artistry in this poem rings through clearly.

This will bring us all back to a long time ago, when we were so much younger and more innocent to love.
This was well written rich in theme and Imagery.
It is touching and promotes the warmth of Young Love.
Thanks for sharing.

Good

Sweet, simple glimpses. I like the line "licking its sweet aftertaste". Poetically descriptive. I wonder if wafting should be under or in my nose rather than "on"? I'm not sure that an aroma wafts on a nose. Small detail. I would possibly use a period after "than it should". Well done.

Puppy Love? OK, picture was borrowed. I was wondering if that truly was your first love.

Yep. The world ain't pure any longer. The bigger the population, the bigger the criminals. Why I try to avoid big cities. Too much crime and violence.
Nice snippet of a poem!

BOOtastic!
