The Value of Poetry

 

In my senior year


Of High School


I met her and


She smiled






She studied English


Or rather how to teach it


At the local


University






I was quite smitten


Taken with her


She asked us to write


So I did






I wrote stories


And she read them


Poems and she giggled


I tried to be provocative






In puberties most


painful/beautiful way I held


books low and center


while we spoke






When she left

Eventually


I learned lifes


Most valuable Lesson






Love is bitter sweet


They all go eventually


And even bad poetry
Can get you laid
