I Reminisce, I Miss

I reminisce, I miss those good ol’ days long ago When I was a teenager, carefree and bold lusting after chicks, inviting a fracas, Life was so full of excitement and adventure-- looking over the edges, taking the high dive, pushing the envelope, ignoring boundaries, going further and further... and further! Late night escapes from the bedroom window-- meeting up with friends, a couple of beers, joy-riding, avoiding the cops! Finally getting my driver’s license after trying once, twice, third time was the charm! My first date, my first kiss, my first car, Those good ol’ days long ago, I reminisce, I miss.

Thanks so much, Eve. I had interesting teenage year, but some of my poem was completely fiction!

It was a fun write, Caren. Maybe too revealing, eh?

Such a sheltered youth you had, Andrea. Yes, I'm sure your son could relate. I know mine could. It took me three tries to get my driver's license because I was scared to death of the police, and when he got into the car, I went to pieces. Also, I was a know-it-all!
