Sway
A Poem by
Love Struck
Swaying in his arms
I cannot look away
His eyes are so bright
I feel light-headed
His embrace is a promise
He holds me so close
We both lean closer
Wow, am I really dancing?
This must be a dream
I hear soft music
I feel his breath on my neck
I see those green eyes
Or maybe they're blue
It's really hard to tell when
He holds me thisclose
Rocking and swaying
This moment lasts forever
And then I wake up.

"I hear soft music

Okay, I have to get this part out of the way... lmao! "or maybe they're blue...". I'm sorry. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I was going along thinking to myself... aww, this is really romantic. And then.... bam! Hilarious..!
Nice work on this. Your haiku syllable count is right there. I really enjoyed the read. A nice romantically charged dream.... dancing, swaying, holding close, staring into beautiful unknown colored eyes..lol... and then you wake up. Damn.
Well done!

I do like this piece, however the flow to me was off... but that's probably because in my opinion haiku poems don't flow lol... this was good though, I felt like I was there watching this happen... good job.

I love these dreams, even if they are just dreams :) Very pretty piece, you wrote exactly how it feels...

The haiku-style gives the poem a good rhythm. I like it.
It's alive with imagery, but not too complicated.
Awesome.

this is beautifully written. short and simple yet you can feel the emotions of love, of adoration, almost as if we are swaying with you. a delightful read.

I really like the way the rhythm of this poem communicates the slow sway of the intimate dance it describes.
Perfect syllable structure, apart from 'I cannot look away '; this is purely technical and, IMO, doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the poem.
Favourite line:
'His embrace is a promise'
Good stuff!
