MEET KB....AGE 15

I came across a book of poems and stories I wrote years ago. Wow, teenage angst at it's best or maybe I should say at it's worst. Most of it's very amateur and I chuckled over it for ages. I was tempted to tidy the writing up but I decided against it because I reckon it shows how far I've come. Anyone else game to share their first attempts at writing? *giggles*

ROMANTIC BEGINNINGS...KB AGE 15 (yikes)

I was slowly walking down the street
I didn't know that we would meet
You said hello, Greg's my name
I thought you were quite insane
You wanted my number, I reluctantly gave it
I thought you would surely forget it
You called me up and asked for a date
Things started off well, we stayed up real late
I started to like you, you paid such attention
The other girl you were seeing, you forgot to mention
But I never lived up to the girl you chased
Such a romantic beginning, what a waste
But I'll always remember that special day
When I discovered a boy worshipped me from far away


My mother warned me about him but of course, I thought I knew better. I can't stop giggling.

I'll keep reading through what I have and post more later.

Love KB

  4. LOL ROFLMBO - typical, a pocket full of girls for many occasions and each not knowing about the rest. Ah "MEN" indeed!!!!!!

    For a fifteen year old even then you had a way of manipulating your lines with rhythm and flow :) very nice.
