Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

First Love

Tongue tied, playing the fool
That day I met you, by the pool
First I splashed you, when I jumped in
Not the right way, for me to begin

Then again, I'm only Seven
You're grown up, I think you're Eleven
You gave me that look, a terrible glare
You had spent hours, working on your hair

I shrugged my shoulders, spashed you again
You said "you idiot, why are you such a pain?"
My friends all laughed, they thought I was cool
When you started crying, I felt like a tool

Romance never happened, there was another guy
He came and grabbed me, punched me in the eye
You said to stop it, he's just a little squirt
The punch not so bad, but the comment really hurt

Cecilia Macfarlane December 11, 2012 at 1:54 PM It's strange how our first crushes leave a footprint in our hearts never to be forgotten....bittersweet write, thanks for sharing. Hugs Richard Lamoureux December 11, 2012 at 2:30 PM This was a fun one to write.

John Posey November 10, 2012 at 6:33 PM There are times like this when our young boldness causes our vulnerability to surface. Time passes and we are left to wonder what might have been. If a name is remembered then we have, at least, that left to hold onto. The name I remember is Virginia Lee Graham, the most beautiful 6 year old I ever saw..... Thanks for sharing..... Jake Richard Lamoureux November 10, 2012 at 6:42 PM My first girlfriend was in grade 3. Her name was Christine Lago. Amazing what we can remember. Almost 43 years and that name is printed indelibly on my mind.

Jack Ellison November 6, 2012 at 6:55 AM A great look back, my friend. About how feelings are so intense, so easily bruised, and we were oh so vulnerable! A great description of those early years, Richard! Richard Lamoureux November 6, 2012 at 7:44 AM Thanks Jack, there is something magical about how intense those early emotions can be.

Ravindra K Kapoor November 4, 2012 at 2:41 AM Just beautiful and cute like the first love. The way you have woven and painted innocent feelings of that age are great Richard. These simple feelings linger in our memories more than the matured ones. With best wishes..Ravindra Richard Lamoureux November 4, 2012 at 7:04 AM Thanks my new friend, I appreciate you eloquent feedback.

Andrea Dietrich November 3, 2012 at 1:39 AM this is so charming the way you portrayed first love. I did one similar to this too! A ballad of johnny and Molly. I really liked reading this. Richard Lamoureux November 3, 2012 at 8:41 AM Thanks Andrea, glad you liked it.

Toquyen Harrell November 2, 2012 at 7:46 PM Oh, that's really sweet of you to share that. Maybe she was mad at you. Articulate write, Richard. Love it. Love ya, Toquyen Richard Lamoureux November 2, 2012 at 8:15 PM Not autobiographical although I did draw on childhood emotions. Thanks for being concerned, also sweet.

Poet Destroyer A November 2, 2012 at 6:54 PM Hi Richard, wow... now you have me thinking about my first love.. was it worth the fight.. sorry to hear you got your feelings hurt... always~pd Richard Lamoureux November 2, 2012 at 8:18 PM My actual first love was Christine, first girl I kissed and when I asked for my friendship ring back her and her friend Laurie gave me a black eye. Pretty scandalous for grade 3. Never did get the ring back.

Russell Sivey November 2, 2012 at 6:42 PM Ha! I think I had an experience slightly resembling this in my past! The comments are always the most painful things experienced, no matter what else happened! I really enjoyed reading this delightful write this evening! You have worded everything perfectly my friend! Great Work!! Richard Lamoureux November 2, 2012 at 8:21 PM Thanks Russel, glad you enjoyed the poem, always nice to hear from you.
