Poem Title:
Poem
A Tea Party....she drug me into this nonsense ...I'd follow her to the end of the earth Slight pang of jealousy surfaces discovering we're not alone A tattered bear and a ragdoll with a flopping button eye rounded out the guest list...stealing our privacy! I've never hated anyone more than now... Her accent was faux-brit...At the time I didn't get it Maggie set the table...a tree stump, purposely graceful Chin raised up and out...all a part of the production All the while I watched fascinated My hands pressed firmly between my knees Setting a pink plastic plate with cake She giggled playfully... ... knowing this was a tortured day for me I'd devour mountains of invisible cake, sip tiny cups of tea that wasn't there To smell those flowers in her hair Maggie left me sitting to conversate with "Bear" and "Bonnie" ...dreading the horror of a pop-in by Tommy and Johnny I could only imagine them rolling in the grass... Pointing at the scene, roaring with laughter running after to make a neighborhood broadcast!! As I pictured the horrific scene, Maggie crept behind me soft hands cupped over my eyes "Surprise"!! As I turned to speak...she puckered sweet and layed it on me!! Taken aback...I'd no idea how to react Face flushed, I blushed and ran away Later that day...She appeared at the edge of my lawn We went to the creek and looked for turtles... Inspired by John Heck's "My First Kiss" contest
