Notes About The Poem

Example for my new contest...a rhyming list form I invented

The Boy and the Girl

The boy- he anxiously awaits his first kiss at fifteen years 
The girl-  her first menstruation it brought her to tears
 
The connection- they met at high school in the lunch room 
The smiles- they both hit it off... Boom! Boom! Boom!
 
The date- they set a date to go see a movie 
The kiss- this was back in the 60's they were both feeling "groovy"
 
The relationship- they stayed together for 5 years+ 
The marriage- the yes's, the I do's, the love...and the trust
 
The sex- this is when two "new lives"- begins 
The children- they born together a fine set of twins
 
The son- he practiced religion and became a fine preacher 
The daughter- she went to college to become a school teacher
 
The grandparents- they both grew old and lived happily in glory 
The boy and girl- this is their life, their togetherness story

This is really cool, Charles. So does this mean you prefer lists about two people instead of one? I notice it's in couplet form, which makes it more convenient to do two different subjects and comparing them perhaps!
