A Short Piece, by me

Boy and Girl

(by me)

Boy
and
Girl
Play as kids
Each one doing
as the other bids
Holding hands
Happy now
With this kiss
make the vow

Boy
and
Girl
No longer kids
Each one doing
as parent bids
Lays the law down
far too young
to settle down
raising young

Boy
and
Girl
in war torn state
love and tears
now separate
Shame on parent
who denied
the right to love
before bombs
descended
from
above

    1. Joeh, as a friend said 'Well, it's certainly a different style'.

  2. Valerie, you are sooooooooooo multi-talented! I love the style in which you wrote this. What I really enjoy about your writing is that you can express yourself in many different genres and formats.

    This piece is so full-bodied yet, as joeh said in his comment....in so few words.

    Have a fantastic weekend, my friend!

  4. Great style of poetry. I use to write lots of poetry. Don't know why I stopped?

    1. Dave, I was experimenting with poetry but didn't get very far so went back to writing tales and books. I found poetry to be rather inhibiting. Do we ever get to see some of yours?

  5. I wish your words weren't true, Val, but they certainly are. It's unfortunate that we continue to think war and bombs are the answer. Take care.

If you're new to A Mixed Bag you might find something to interest you, a bit of mirth, a story or two, or some pictures. I'm so pleased you popped in, do leave a comment if you have time.
