I walk through the fields
Wondering when I'll see you
Never knowing what is truth
So, for now-
I'll wait patiently
Looking after the butterfly of our love
&&
It was my first time.... [Dec 31.07]
http://allpoetry.com/poem/3757936
It was just a party,
or at least that's all it was supposed to be
But i let myself get wasted
I'm not even sure if i could see straight
I know I couldn't walk straight...
But somehow we made our way to his room
Where he took off my pants
I didnt realize what was going on
Well, I knew- but I couldn't react
I was thinking about alcohol
The movie we were watching
And the alcohol
I had so much to drink
Maybe that was my mistake.
Yes it definitely was.
Before I knew it he was done
Such a lame one, he was.
I made him leave me alone
So I could try to find my pants.
I went straight to the bathroom
And started to cry
That's not nothing like I planned my first time
He should have known better
I don't even know if he used protection.
I found more alcohol
Because I was so disapointed in myself
How could I let this happen
I was so stupid...
But for now I remind myself
I was drunk
He was not.
This wasn't my fault.
It was his.
But I'm better now
Because that was months ago.
I still don't know if he used protection...
At least I didn't get pregnant
Author notes
well putting the two poem titles together sounds very... awkward lol.

Your first poem is moving towards working with metaphor and is evocative. You second poem tells the reader more than shows are draws the reader in. You are well on your way. Keep experiementing with metaphor and you will soon find it easier and easier to do. ty so much for entering.
