For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:
- Write a love poem. Or…
- Write an anti-love poem.
A Poem of Love
It was the girl who noticed
The curly headed boy
Across the room
Looking lost,
Rigid against the wall.
He betrayed a rare beauty
She was struck immediately
Who was he, why hadn’t she seen him before?
The boy was terrified he might be noticed
All the fun of the occasion lost on him.
He hoped the night would engulf him
Relieve him of any contact.
Nervously she asked him to dance.
He stammered protest.
She took his hand
Led him, taught him
Engaged with him,
Showed him it was ok.
The stars shone, hands were held
She took him home
Loved him as no other.
He didn’t go home!
Love can be like that,
Once smitten
There it ends
Logic goes out the door
You’re in love
You don’t care.

Love is a smile.
It is isn’t it. Hope you are ok today.😀
Nice, Michael. I’m so pleased she saw something in him that sparked her curiosity. I love happy endings 🙂
Its what we all wish for isn’t…..the romantics that we are…
LOL I’m a hopeless romantic … at least that’s what friends tell me.
I would never have guessed…..lol
:p
“She took his hand–Led him, taught him–Engaged with him–Showed him it was ok…”
Lucky she did, eh? Imagine all the missed opportunities to find love when neither party walks over, reaches for that hand… beautiful, Michael.
Sometimes Scout it takes the confidence and bravery of one person to be the injection into the shyer one and away they go……then it’s trust and sincerity. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Always, my pleasure 🙂
Lovely words 🙂

I think back in the day we’d have said you were a goner.
