Underclass Relationship Credit

Is our true love was going anywhere?  

After traditional local fun fair 

Nothing does compare, with the teasing scare  

Where we share, our mature teen age affair  

Passing written notes, from pens we borrow  

Wonder about future, unknown horror  

Sunny blue skies? After we say goodbye? 

Studying college courses are new try  

Meeting new friends, saying, he’s a nice guy  

Semester we wander getting credit  

Attend class confessing "should have read it"

Or the other excuse, “I don’t get it”  

Compass directs one to the campus bar  

Healing wounds from the bloody mark grade scar 

And making out with a long neck lone star

A warmly nostalgic, sonnet-like reflection on young love, growing up, and the bittersweet shift into college life. The conversational rhymes and vivid details—from borrowed pens to the campus bar—give it an authentic, affectionate sense of memory and youthful uncertainty.
