When First I Saw Her

In English class I saw her sitting there, this gorgeous girl of mystery. With eyes of green and silky golden hair; the sparks between us blistery. This lovely lady that I want to know; I walk up to her and I say “Hello,” and all the rest is history… June 22, 2018 Contest: Seven Lines of Romantic Heaven Sponsor: Silent One

Alas! The beautiful goddess in my sophomore history class so many decades ago, so awed me that I never worked up the courage to tell her how much I was in love with her. Your fine poem just reminded me of her beauty and that unfulfilled youthful love my friend.. A fav.. thank you..
