First Love

We were both young, carefree, so innocent Dreams never simpler Life's fruits tastier Teenage love just one big experiment Life a fantasy Feeling fancy free Uncontrollable hankering for fusion Swept up in a fiery whirl of confusion We were too young to know While daydreams conjured false embellishment Ravenous hunger In one unhinged blur Oblivious to foul entanglement Dubiously free Raw complicity Infatuated craving for inclusion Foolish heedless impetuous conclusion We were too young to know Gone in a whirl of frivolous torment Foolhardy treasure Lighthearted banter Impressionable wide-eyed reckless bent Dizzy and woozy Too giddy with glee Intoxicated with teenage delusion Delirious adolescent illusion We were too young to know Swept up in lustful impetuous passion Now seems so long ago AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on May 15, 2018 to contest QARINAGE sponsored by GREGORY BARDEN - RANKED 4TH

Well done. I get it. I was married at 19 many many years ago. I miss that excitement

YOu are always on the ball, Line, trying out difficult forms like this one Gregory gave for us. I"ve yet to even sit down and contemplate it. Next fun thing that happened this week: Hubbie broke his foot. (will it never end?)

O Andrea, you are getting all your bad luck out of the way now - you are gearing up towards a fabulous summer. Really, nothing else can possibly happen to you. Somebody else's turn.

You describe first love and the intoxicating emotions that go with it superbly, Line. I think that Greg will agree with me when I say that you tackled his new form with absolute aplomb! Best regards // paul
