One fine day
A shimmering sun
Raised its rays
And looked among
The people walking
And talking and being
The sidewalk chalky
And for the first time seeming
To reflect the light
With joy and glee
Tree snatching child’s kite
And there a humming bee
This child was something
Pure and simple
Delighted all nothing
Cheeks marked with dimples
Her eyes of richest chocolate brown
Stormy now when marred by frown
Her beginning was easy
Early years not hard
Her growing up different
For this was Fate’s Card:
She would live well enough
But in love was the trouble
It would prove to be tough
To beat back heartaches rubble
Needless to say
She didn’t concern
It wasn’t til the day
Of her 17th she turned
…well…
Didn’t turn, as such
But rather discovered
She longed for the touch
Of a woman rather
than male lover
The sun was delighted
This was new!
He gazed excited
A surprising few
Had proven to be this controversial
A dismal lack from TV Commercial
They seemed to be banned
Some unseen force
Given silent command
To direct another course
For shame it would be
To seem to endorse
Such scandal as these
Few have presented our source
But be she did
With hope and good name
And live she did
Without fear or shame
Affirmed in herself
She had become
Lending all help
Denying no-one
And so the day came
In which she told all her friends
Her mother and her Dane
‘Your father himself sends
His utmost love and pride in you
At your brave brave actions
Your heart so true” -
This her mother conveyed
One fine spring morning.
Her grandmother dismayed
Upon her grand-daughters dawning
As a new woman, graduated
Set upon new life
2 years after infatuated
A young blonde causing her strife…
To Be Continued…

This is part of a series of poems I'm writing to become a story. It's a real product of my unrealistic, idealistic and totally helplessly-romantic mind. Hope you like it!!

Very interesting story.
The rhyme was evident but seemed forced at times. Im sure you will tweek. The flow was ok. But a fun read non the less. -
Sounds like this could become an epic of discovery - liked the flow, and the easiness with which it is written. Easy to read and understand. Am sure you will have much more to add.

Very Good!
I loved it. It expressed a different kind of passion and took on romance from the other mind and other sexual need. Very good and keep your series of poems coming. This one was very good. -
