Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Precious and Few

my new adidas running shoes
blue bell bottom jeans
soft pink angora sweater
and ribbon in my hair

a stroke of blue shadow on my eyes
touch of blush on the cheekbones
perfume cachet smelling pretty
rushing out to the school dance

I’ll hang out at the punchbowl
I’ve got my heart set on a beau
he’s been flirting with me
in chemistry class all year

there’s nothing I’d like better
than to dance the whole night long
and hear him call me sweetheart
as I can hardly breathe

and the band will play their rendition
of the magical hit ‘Precious and Few’
fondly close under dimmest of lights
maybe just maybe we’ll get to steal a kiss
