Just A Sunny Friend~

It’s been Nearly three Days Past Since 
Poca and Johnny met,
They Never Spoke, although their Eyes 
Were set on one another, and in other Places too.
When She kneeled Down to plant corn, 
He Bent. .from afar. .Just to see the View.
Poca’s Father saw Him as a 
White Boy too Sunny for their Land,
But Little did He Know, that 
His most Precious Daughter was 
Oh so Curious about this Man’s Blue Eyes.
A Hue She has Never Known before, 
She Desired to Understand the Taste 
Behind His Sunny Ways. .
And of the Path in which this Foreign Man Resides.
So One Day, Johnny Decided to 
Speak to Her as She Worked in the corn fields.
He Startled Her to a Great Extent, 
Causing a Loud Scream to Escape.
They Both Expressed Amusement after the Incident.
Although the Genuine Reason for 
Her Scream was the Sight of maggots
Squirming around in His Eye, with no Reflection to see it.
They made a Choice to Part ways During Sunrise and
Meet up to Talk in the Night. In Regards to this, 
Poca managed to Find
Two Long Strings to Wove Together as a 
Fresh Pair of Leaf Coverings,
This Time She used a Bundle of 
Red, Brown, and Green Leaves
For Decoration in Her own Mind, and to be Cautious of the 
Unwanted Discoveries in the Female Body .
Later that Day, Well into the Night, Poca and Johnny Ran 
Within the Nearby Woods.
She brought two servings of Planted 
Corn cobs while Johnny made a Fire.
They would eat as She would Portray of Mystical Tales 
That weren’t to be Shared with an outsider such as Him.
After a while, He Leaned in, over the Flames and 
Wished for a Friendly Kiss.
She Laughed and Said His Breath was Oddly Foul. .
But She Embraced Him with a Long Lasting Hug.
Then the Sounds of Rumbling Tree Leaves Grew Audible,
As the Figure of Poca’s Father became Visible. .
Leaving Johnny Stunned by His Sudden Arrival,
And Giving Poca quite a task to do!
To Protect the Foreign Feud!!

    Smile ~ Johnny sounds as though he had it pretty rough dear Lynette; with that bad eye and that foul breath? Yet, Poca sounds like such a precious young lady; filled with a beautiful and loving heart and soul it does seem! I want to "Thank You" dear for stopping by this morn and leaving Your kind com and, I hope Your Loveliness is doing perfectly Precious Lynette! ~ "Much Love & Warmth to You Always, & All You Love," John! ~ ....Cont:)

    Lynette. what was going on with the maggots in his eyes. EUWWWW. WAs she having a premonition of his death or something? Is that why he has a foul odor? Their story is quite interesting. DId you see the movie made about Pocohontas several years ago? I forgot the title, but it's so beautiful to watch. I enjoyed reading. LUv, andrea

    Well, you said that you wrote this to be creative and also for a laugh. I had a nice chuckle at, "When she kneeled down to plant corn, he bent..from afar..just to see the view." Aha! And WHAT a view that must have been!~Chris
