Analysis of Delightful
A wisp of hair
Is amusing,
And silky
As it dances
Across her cherry lips.
By design she sweeps her hair behind her ear
Innocently
Revealing the warmth of her skin.
She doesn’t see
The sparkle in the wind
Like I do.

About this poem
I was imagining how a beautiful, young, girl would look standing on a boat in the wind.
