Writing poetry about the people I meet. Comments?

Walked into a restaurant one day and met Sherrie, my waitress. She sparked poetry.

SHERRIE

All I wanted

was a bite to eat

Instead I got

swept off my feet.

Greeted with

a killer smile

Big bright eyes

Interesting style.

Delicate fingers

write my need

Then jauntily off

to retrieve my feed.

She floats about

on angel wings

Distracting my thoughts

Her movements sing.

Beautiful blonde

Tall and slim

A very nice girl

Perfect for Tim!

All I wanted

was a bite to eat

But a taste of Sherrie

is the ultimate treat.

    The rhythm is good. I don't respond well to rhymes but it's alright. Jauntily is out of place here. I'd say as a whole, the poem is okay. One piece of advice though, there's a definite difference between being in awe of beauty and plain old objectifying. You're skating in the middle. Be aware.

    Hi fine writing i am so completely happy, that my favourite tale teller is again. On this discussion board you ought to placed to your two layer's of tuff epidermis, if no longer you'll lose your glow, and that i refused to take delivery of this. Don't allow the loser get to your nerves. LOL. Your piece flows with phrases, feelings, pix and emotions , very dramatic aspect of being a human; "Lottie" watched as mum fainted. Worse regardless that, informative talks. A courting tainted These verses got here to my concentration i ponder whether it is what i 'm brooding about approximately?? Keep on writing God bless!
