My Plum

I'm a lad, seven and ten

Don't know why I hold this pen.

I'm just a kid, caught in the middle.

Life is a maze and love's a riddle..

 

 

Cute little girls, when I do see,

I smile at them, they wink at me.

I'm a bit shy; but do say"Hi.."

To impress 'em, well I do try.

 

 

There's this cutie, who lives round the block

It is seldom, but we do talk.

She's a doll, with a  zest for life-

Beauty like her,-  well that ain't rife..

 

 

My heart beats fast, when her I do see,

Only god knows what she thinks of me?!

She stays with me, night and day

I don't know what else to say..

 

 

It is love- Or maybe just a phase;

But It sure is a damn good craze.

 

 

GLOSSARY :

1. lad- young boy.

2. seldom- rare.

3. zest- a feeling of enthusiasm, excitement.

4. rife - common..

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
