The warm, bubbling, thrills of my cherished first date So innocent, so sparkling soft, is the kind hand of fate Up at dawn to caress, my new shoes of patent leather My feet felt no floor, for I was a teen angel with feathers. My feathers took flight that first precious date night It truly turned out to be love at first sight Still, after years of angelic married bliss I recall magic moments of our first kiss. In the very bottom drawer of my golden vanity An etched crystal box, sparkles as the sea Petals of a rose corsage, worn on a once teen wrist Scents, that make my cheeks, a gloriouus amethyst. Love for you is pure as the day it was born Though my feathers have become tattered and worn. At sound of your voice my heart accelerates It takes me back to that fantastic first date.

Hi, Beryl ~what I liked about this is nobody knows which of us wrote which line! ALSO..we have both been honored by a poet who has 40 published books of poetry! Hec chose one of your lines as great! Be proud Beryl! You are not here to impress!Nor to be number one! An artist, taking a painting to the gallery every day?Poetry is not a horse race. It is about beauty and truth..you..already a winner as a poetess! Your co-author, Pangie

Hi Pangie, I’m delighted to read that such a profound poet said one of my lines was great, what an honour. I believe poetry is an art, like a painter paints pictures, poets write verse, something that’s hard to define. Thank you again, my poetess friend. Beryl x

Belle, your poem is truly exceptional and demonstrates a remarkable collaboration that beautifully evokes memories of our youthful days. I was particularly captivated by your vivid portrayal of the intricately etched box and the delicate petals of the corsage. Delving into your poem evoked a sense of nostalgia, prompting me to reminisce about my own youthful experiences.

Thank you so much Sotto, I can’t take the credit for the etched crystal box, and the delicate petals of the corsage, those words were not mine, I agree they are magnificent words from Pangie, a fantastic poetess. I’m pleased our poem brought back memories of your youth. Bless you, Beryl

All your poems about lost love (yours, I'm guessing) that I've read are so beautiful and so sad. Yet, they are not two things, beautiful and sad, they are beautiful-sad. That's what makes them wonderful.

Dear Robert, fortunately I haven’t lost my love, I write about that from fiction, my hubby is sat here beside as I’m writing this. Thank you for those wonderful words about my writes on the subject of love, they warm my heart. Thank you so very much… Beryl

Hey what a great collaboration between yourself and Pangie reliving those teenage years, the stanzas fit together and complement each other perfectly, I’m guessing Pangie 1 and 3 and Beryl 2 and 4 not that it matters, the poem is quite beautiful as a stand alone piece, cheers David
