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 Submitted on November 15, 2019 for contest BEST FRIEND SONNET sponsored by REGINA RIDDLE - RANKED 1ST

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
