Jinxed Juvenile

Jinxed juvenile slithers, withers unseen. Feeling the angst of earlier guilt trips, A Christian conscience and its censorships - this golden-haired boy was not born to glean. Mind colored from purloined men's' magazine; (note purplish stains too on his fingertips). Jinxed juvenile Money, pills, small stuff pilfered by this teen unearned awards, past moral radar blips, deserved the harsh words from preacher-dad's lips. Now bold-faced curse slips, as his face turns green. Jinxed juvenile October 12, 2022 contest: Rousing Rondine sponsor: Jeff Kyser

We mimic the habits and words of those we associate with most closely, don't we? Thanks, Christuraj for commenting.

thanks, Andrea - always appreciate a comment before judging here at PS - sometimes they outgrow it; sometimes it takes more discipline such as a time in jail and of course there are casualties which never recover. Poor kids
