Yann Rolland Poet Free verse

Cheerleaders

They’re young, they’re beautiful, what’s up!
Cheerleaders make many teenagers dream,
We drink beer, it relaxes us, take time,
It feels good to dream, but not like that.

They’re beautiful; they’re young, what’s up!
They don’t change our worries, our great fears,  
We swallow spaghetti like the Italians,
They’re beautiful, but they won’t change love.

They’re beautiful, they’re young, what’s up!
That they dress to please old cats,
Let them dance and smile, great do them,
They will not change the world, nor poetry.

Gershon Wolf May 18, 2023 at 7:25 PM Very interesting, Yann... Not only do they not change the world, these 'cheerleaders' are guardians of the status quo --- pornographic sex, the opiate of the masses, as they used to say...

Sotto Poet May 18, 2023 at 4:18 AM Fascinating one. The "in style" girls are often portrayed by cheerleaders. Your beautiful poetry, Yann, resounds with the enthusiasm and vitality of youth. Very good.

Andrea Dietrich May 16, 2023 at 11:18 AM Interesting one. Usually they represent the "popular" girls, so I never liked them all that much. haha Yann Rolland May 17, 2023 at 10:57 PM Thanks Andrea, you are relevant indeed, i just take what it is good, i am touched by your comment
