Gershon Wolf Poet Narrative

June and Johnny

June and Johnny got out of his car
   June and Johnny, wishing on a star 

June and Johnny took a short walk
   June and Johnny had a little talk
   
On just one thing did they agree
   The time had come to make a little baby 

June was fifteen; Johnny a year older
   As they disrobed, their feet got colder

June bit her lip; said she was scared
   Johnny stiffened inside; he actually cared

for his honey, but when he saw her bare 
   June froze him with her innocent stare...

...In each other's arms they found ecstasy
     reaching unimagined heights, pure fantasy 

though afterward, their deep sighs exhaled
   they each on a sharp knife of guilt, the other impaled

M. L. Kiser February 28, 2019 at 7:34 PM Oh but, could they both sing! Love it. Gershon Wolf March 1, 2019 at 1:22 PM Kind of like 'Jack and Diane,' perhaps, back in the day. ~ J.C. Mellenkamp the 3rd

W.A. Cholt February 28, 2019 at 12:19 PM Nice humorous read. Enjoyed it. Thanks for your recent comments on my poetry. On the poem WAR , I largely agree with the sentiments you've expressed. I do think that social engineering, propaganda and fear play a role in governing/controlling nations and people. No doubt other factors have a role to play too. Sorry, but I can't reply to comments by the usual reply mechanism ( out of order). Hence the reason for this. Gershon Wolf February 28, 2019 at 1:21 PM Thank you for YOUR comments, my friend. ~ gw

Panagiota Romios February 28, 2019 at 6:39 AM Hello I think this is great! Reliving my days in Elmwood Park! Lol... Though in those years..a kiss was over- Powering enough for me. Ah-so innocent. Wishing on a star, in a rag-top on a Spring night...very romantic. night kissing,, Panagiota Gershon Wolf February 28, 2019 at 1:21 PM Yeah, you're right. Back in the day, it was kissing and (sometimes) 'heavy petting.' At least, that's the term I remember from the mid-'60's. That's a long time ago, I guess... ~ gw

Alexis Y. February 27, 2019 at 10:35 PM Hi Gershon, This is a good narrative. As I was reading this this song" Ring Of Fire" popped in my head. I'm a huge country music fan. Great title and content. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf February 28, 2019 at 1:18 PM Whoa! The Great Johnny Cash! I really like "Ring of Fire" too... Ever hear "Man in Black," which he did on a college campus about 8-9 years ago or so? Amazing! ... My favorite 'current' (last few years) country song is 'Little Chicken Fried,' by the Zack Brown Band. How about yours? ~ Gershon
