I like it

I like it when the sky is clear and the stars are out.

I like it when the moon is crescent and bright.

I like the way the windows of homes have a glow.

I like my toes in the grass

Or on the cool cement.

I like the kind of sky that is cloudless.

I like hearing church bells ring.

Children sing.

I like the smell of lilacs and peach.

I like the way music makes me feel.

I like the way the sun makes my car warm.

I like fresh cut grass.

New warm sheets.

The crunch of Autumn leaves.

I like the whistle of a kettle.

A steaming mug of tea.

The roar of a jet.

The sparkling eyes of an admirer.

I like wearing dresses and gowns.

And living in my skin of nudity.

I like nail polish and lipstick.

Nylons and heels.

I like being seductive.

And making men weak in the knees.

I like hot tubs and warm showers.

Soft blankets and chocolate.

I like vintage history.

Museums and paintings.

And I like how he loves me.

So dirty yet so pure and clean.

But most of all

I like how I can be

Me.

Excellent flowing with some memory stimulating images. Who ever thinks of sun warming a car? yet I also enjoy this. They say good mental health involves 'stopping and smelling the roses' you certainly did it in this piece Kathryn.

I absolutely love this piece! I look forward to reading more of your work :)

This is so simple but that is good here. The turn from the simple things, fresh cut grass etc to the almost erotic personal section is effective. I'm not sure it works going back to hot tubs and chocolate from there though. Also you've started many of the lines with 'I like' but it seems a bit random. You also have a couple of verse breaks but these seem random as well.
To sum up the content is great but perhaps reorganising it might help. I hope you don't mind these constructive comments.
