Dandelions
our summer fantasy on the isles;
(with heavy heat from an
Omnipresent sun)
that left snatches of laughter ringing
in our ears, and emboldened our hearts—
now resides in tactile memory;
—held fast by gentle determination
to never forget that sweet lesson
learned ‘neath stars and sun,
amid dandelions that tickled my thighs;
—to stop needing an excuse to run,
and take pleasure of wind in my hair

Oh, what lovely imagery. This poem is so beautiful and compelling. It cast such a vivid picture and invokes all of one's senses.
I love these lines,
"—held fast by gentle determination
to never forget that sweet lesson
learned ‘neath stars and sun,"
It touched a chord, and brought me back a few years.
I enjoyed the flow of this piece. I disagree with previous statements about this piece and how the switch from relaxation to motion was disturbing. Personally, I do not feel that any sort of motion was made what-so-ever. I feel, it is a compilation of thoughts and feelings, with the exception of these lines,
"(with heavy heat from an
Omnipresent sun)"
"amid dandelions that tickled my thighs;"
I feel that these lines help the reader enter the same paradise and feel what it is that you are feeling.
I do agree that the piece had and undertone of sexuality that was not unpleasant.
Regardless of the nit-picking details of this piece. It flowed and was absolutely lovely, a pleasure to read.
