Notes About The Poem

 

4th in One on One with Myself Contest (Sponsor: Nette Onclaud)

Judged: 22nd February, 2026

At Fourteen

romance is a TV schedule--
your first kiss doesn't win final rose.
parents might require parenting.
your father's absence was sufferable.
you'll parent the other one soon.
your first rum ends with murder.
alcohol poisons resilience!
