Where Are You Now

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?


Mascara pink lipstick ribbons and curls
Miniskirts no matter what the weather
We were teens two cheerful giggling schoolgirls
Enjoying bits of time spent together

A yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
We followed all the radio top hits
All night writing clandestine poetry
Spilling young hearts out on a paper blitz

Silly teenage crushes and high drama
The best of girlfriends we were confidantes
Exploring grey boundaries and karma
Deciphering feelings wishes and wants

I remember most your joyful laughter
Sad somehow our roads drifted thereafter

Line, love your sonnet. I particularly like the phrases, "writing clandestine poetry", "Exploring grey boundaries", and "deciphering feelings". Memories of past friends are so rich, but melancholy when the friendships drift. Beautiful. ~ John

This made me want to contact two of my teenage friends. One cannot hear any longer, so that is out. The other one babysits her grandchildren constantly, so I am going to satisfy myself by re-reading your poem, Line.

Yeah, it is sad,...but how would you ever get this giggly serendipitous state back. You gotta leave it where it was, eternalized in your lovely poem! Cheers, Gershon
