Rating: 2.7


We were always together
as much as weather

was
weather.

'Like two peas
in a pod...by God! '

as the man said
when he saw us

& laughed
his head off.

We only smiled
with little Mona Lisa smiles

seeing no one
but each other

holding hands
& jumping through

a rain washed
hopscotch

our breaths
mingling in the frosty air


the words
I LOVE YOU

held there
for ever for all

to see
our first big love

& neither of us
not yet

Nine is certainly the age of the first crush and this is very cute and well done

At first I imagined Madame Mona Lisa as a little girl :)) little Mona Lisa, which was very interesting flight of imagination :)) the little girl Mona Lise smiles... excuse my deviation - it is a poem about love and prime may be... wonderful romantic - brings a little Mona Lisa smile to my face :)

Oh gosh, young love....you feel it in your throat and chest just like the feeling of holding back tears, it's both painful and wonderful at the same time and then you feel you'll never ever love that much ever again with anybody else, but of course you do....which I think is sad. There's nothing as pure as young love. Great poem Donall as always..... Ruthie: o)
