    Naomi,

    What a beautiful piece of free verse this is. Your descriptive writing has hit new levels recently, it seems.

    Well done and all the best,

    Ben

    Couldn't resist! Couldn't resist!! Running wild and free.....a title that captures my heart before I even read it. I imagined a girl running across an open field. And behold...Nams delivers .....

    It seems free verse however there are stanzas and structure with each end line of the stanzas. First stanza is breathtaking with descriptions like fields of dew speckled greenery... Sweet smelling beds of grass. Then she runs barefoot.

    Almost as if you were or wish to be this person.
    The ending of each verse is 'she feels...' Beautiful!

    Second stanza...'drops to her back in a fit of giggles'..rustling leaves ...marshmallow clouds..breathtaking Nams! I'm their with you...I'm wishing this was me. Oh this is going into the favorites.

    Third stanza is sort of daydreaming... Of rainbows and she is at peace. I have no words here Nams other than each stanza maintains the rhythm and flow of your write.

    Fourth stanza filled with wonderful descriptions of sun kissed...humming a familiar tune...skipping....free!

    I can't suggest anything here...because this poetry has blown me away to a beautiful place. Maybe changing 'sees' to views? But I wouldn't change a thing. Hugs Nams

    Nams...ahhh I want to run like that! There are so many things I like about this poem.

    Firstly, your vocabulary here is so rich that the vivid descriptions of the actions taking place lures me in more and more.

    Secondly, the way the beautiful vocabulary ties up with the poem structure. I really adore that every stanza ends in a one sentence line of how this lady in here feels. That emphasis given is a breath of fresh air as I read the whole piece.

    Thirdly, the events are so put in a beautiful order that the read makes a very refreshing experience. It's like I was there breathing the fresh air with her.

    Over-all this is surely a fantastic poem and is going into my faves. Well done! :-)
