My latest piece is too long for the poem section. I had to post it as a short story.
It's called "seasons of sex."

Twain Hearts Domain
When one heart gain, hookups another twain,
Symphonic bled rain as heartbeat measure,
Fain echoed balance attuned sound remain,
Amidst plain souls part harmonic pleasure,
Picturesque sceneries kept lain treasure,
Stain portraits attest that this tale be true,
Etched art strain reality marks its due,
Filtered strands chain together comes alive,
Silhouette forms unveiled contain a clue,
Love traipsed chord domain of passion revive.

Delightful Dizains
~~Beth Evans
Some people call me
Cutiepie, baby, I don't mind
I'm just modest...shy...
Yet...shirtless at home
Insecure and, yeah, alone
Ditched, drenched garden gnome
Compliments are good
Love getting them actually
Still misunderstood
Some people call me
Sexy or handsome, my dear
But, I'm none of those...
Chose to be humble
But, confident all the same
Good-looking crumble
My filling is fat
But, more to love - that cliche!
Little fuzz won't hurt
Ambitious always,
But I am generous still
Selfless more or less
I am a boobear
I have tons of love to share
Care to get your fill?
Care to get our thrill?
I'm also wise in my youth
A bit of a pill...
I warm up, you'll see
I'm worth it, far from priceless
Intelligence is key
Some people call me names -
Conceited brat with selfies
Still got the geek brains!
I don't like hookups
My passion is airborne flames
Eager for those 'ups'
I'd rather have you
As I cuddle you all night
Sick with dem luv flu
Hashtag flirt alert
It will keep you interested
Shucks, I'm an expert!
Cheers to the Teenage Years
Heartbreak and Sorrow,
The complaining never ends
He never called you back
And you're fighting with your friends
Partying and Hookups
Bullying and Pain
Breakups and Name-Calling
Teachers driving you insane
Essays and Assignments
Drama and Boys
No more play-dough and snack time
No more barbies and toys
Learning life long lessons
Making hard choices and mistakes
Meeting the people who will stay in your life
Separating the real ones from fakes
Peer Pressure to look beautiful
Pressure to be that certain weight
Smoking weed and drinking hard
Telling yourself you've found your perfect soul mate
Spreading rumors and gossip
Secrets exposed to everyone around
Getting called names beneath other people's breath
Your world never felt so upside down
From laughing to happiness
To such sadness and tears
Everyone must go through it once
So let's raise a glass - "Cheers to the teenage years ! "
