Notes About The Poem

My First Date and Love - a Poet's Dozen

the wind was roaring
an open road forever-
           trees a blur of green

My brother brought him home for supper one day,
I recall it was a beautiful warm day in the month of May.

I hung on the back of his powerful motorcycle, happiness
Oh, this was love!  I had never felt such joy- in my young heart

He was everything that my parents hated
Rough, streetwise, a real bad boy, reckless
To me he was a guy that God himself created
He left me breathless and my memory is endless
But a life with him would have been dumb and careless

Connie Marcum Wong December 24, 2015 at 3:10 AM I loved this little glimpse into your exciting past. I married my bad boy. It lasted twelve years and taught me many lessons and how to make my second marriage endure. 34 years and still going. I so enjoyed this poem Constance! Mele Kalikimaka! Aloha, Connie Constance La France December 24, 2015 at 6:44 AM Connie, thanks for the visit and the comment, oh yes, often I wonder what became of my bad boy, but I listened to my parents and married a wonderful guy, sadly he is only a name engraved now, but it was worth every moment we had !
