>My first thought when I saw the photo was of the St. Louis Arch.You caught the young love of this photo, and caught it well indeed. Excellent, Jerry.
>Excellent poem, Jerry. Shadows being cast, line upon line, as the story of their lives had been written. Also really like the part Claudia just quoted; adding that my favorite part occurs at the end just after. "As our shadows / settled under us" Great finishing lines.
>Vivid piece of great clarity. I love the lines Claudia mentioned.
>I love the "shadows/settled under us" – perfect words for a really neat image.
>This is so layered. From "plain as notebook paper" to the shadows…
>Nice take, strong sense of youthful realism. Love the same lines as Claudia!
>nice…your oppening lines set us up…i like the paper metaphor as well…
>Plain as note book…one can read so much into that
>As the rest have noted, that comparison sets up a clean, thoughtful reflection on the simplicity of love. A very young poem, and excellent writing.
>I LOVE this! ♥
