My First Time (Trois Par Huit, Tanka, Rondel)

My first time,
Sexual pleasures climbed,
Was with an experienced lover.

She handled me so gently under the cover;
Knowing I had never been taught by another.

Protecting my fragile male ego;
Unleashed my libido
Down below.

This first love of mine,
Through her kindness and patience,
Was, to me, divine.
Forever, to her in debt
For future pleasures I met.

How lucky I was to find a lover so kind,
To teach me the sexual act.
Cuddling my id with emotional tact;
Enflaming my passionate mind.

As sexual tensions in my youth unwind
Cognizant of the knowledge I lack;
How lucky I was to find a lover so kind,
To teach me the sexual act.

So now, when an inexperienced lover I find,
My first lover I try to pay back,
By remembering the knowledge that I once lacked,
And to her fumbling ways stay blind.
How lucky I was to find a lover so kind.

Well...Joe, you have a winner here...not a doubt in my mind, and I know that Jared will agree! This remarkable and sensitive story, leaves the reader touched and caring, it feels like a true story of kindness, and sexual awakening. I'm so glad I didn't miss this amazing poem. And once again, very grateful for your help on mine! Although, no comparison...you've beaten the socks off of mine ! Not a doubt in my mind!! congrats!!!:)

Everyone should be so lucky to have such a person guiding them along in their first encounter, Joe. My late husband was my first and being much older than I, he made the experience wonderful for me. You made excellent use of the triple form, Joe. It seemed like a puzzle to me putting all of these syllable and rhyme requirements together and it took me a couple days. Yours seemed to flow with great ease and I think Jared will be touched by it as I was. Love, Carolyn
