Connie Pachecho Poet Free verse

Puppy Love

puppy love 

baby, look at the skyline
puffs of clouds dancing with the sun
so beautiful

baby, look at the treeline's undergrowth
grasses sprawling with daffodils
so beautiful

baby, I look no further, I look at your lines
a porcelain doll with chocolate eyes
you are by far the most beautiful, my dear, 
... by far


baby, I put mom's notes down
... my hands sweating

... and pause, frozen in time
heartstrings and butterflies in frenzy

I look nervously in your brown chocolate eyes
"Baby would you like to go to the prom with me?"
