Short Sophomore(A) Poems

A sophomore at our local school
Would look down a girl's blouse and drool
Girls with some grace
Would slap his face
But not looking would have been cruel!...

These lines are made of languid expression,
With soothing rhythm and enticing seduction
(But I am held steadfast by a Fool's progression,
And I am the Goods of a Fool's production)...

I am in the sophomore
Years of my life.
A crossroads
Arrived at through
Pain and much strife.
Heartened heart
Songs played on fife
Soft more edged
Your passion as night
You steal your glances
Cross your heart,  your knife...

selling the story
the goblin laughs at his sophomore effort
last year was rich
this year sweat shrouded the air
it was verscal in its effect

Do we still believe in dreams
as the sun shines daily
fortune most fugit
the autumn brigade has began

Good Morning.
                                                
     mistook a handsome sophomore as teacher addressing ‘good morning sir.’

I, in my excitement, 
was waiting for 
That bootstrap.

And with baseball on 
Your mind, I tried
to seduce you with 
Theater. 

Secret dressing 
Room call. Me, you
and the Priest.

I saw between
Your legs as the
Makeup faded and I 
was never
Happier.

And now, matrimony,
a patriarch and
a stained Buddha
Statue I retreat to 
The Garden....

Sorry, lover,
I think you forgot:
that you said forever,
and I did not.
 
A whole week
with no word?
Baby I’m the chick
you’ll never deserve.
 
I see her there,
sitting high in your lap,
with fingers in your hair
like when I did that.
 
So goodbye, lover,
I hope you’ll remember:
you said forever
and you were the ender....

Paula was a college sophomore;
She was a baller!
And part-time to pay for college she was a roof installer;
She was quite athletic ;

Also this pretty prophetic;
She even had a high mind, fluential and academic;
So she was awesome and poetic;
So is Paula,
The college sophomore;

The bed I wet when I was eight, 
on my Scooby Doo custom sheets? 
The waterbed I came to hate, 
when the patches failed beneath my feet? 

 
Maybe the one in my college dorm, 
where I grew a foot as a sophomore? 
This one now, you seem to say; 
with you, for you, I need to stay.

I have another piece that's too long for the poetry section - so it's in "Short Stories."

It's called "arguments" - about my summer vacation between freshman & sophomore year (at university).

I know I could take things out - to make the piece shorter and fit here - but then it's not what I wanted to say *shrug*

Here's the link:

Countless memories,
Laughter and tears
Always to be remembered,
Moments of these past four years

Freshman year,
Brand new places
It's a fresh start,
With many new faces

Sophomore year,
Better knowing
Waiting for the end,
Always growing

Junior year,
Almost there
Many tests,
Better prepare

Senior year,
One last year
After this you'll be gone,
It's reason for cheer

All the drama,
Between boys and friends
Not knowing what to do,
Having to make amends...
