The Challenge Poem by Deborah Loraine Kean

he gives her longing looks
from underneath long lashes
he is so pretty - almost like a girl
she likes girls a lot

his eyes are sparkling blue
Like the Mediterranean
hers are deep green, like the storms
of an uncaring sea

What does he know about her?
she thinks he knows nothing - he thinks
that he knows everything
He thinks that he will make her love him

They both think it is a competition
When love should be free for the taking
