Young Love ~~ a Poem "Made for Now"

Young Love; 
  I wanted him 

I had to lie about my age 
A big lie so he wouldn't go 
But I was in love that I know 
I wanted him to love me too 

We met there at the skating rink  
Tall and straight he, smoothly gliding 
Ladies' choice coyly I asked him 
Nestled in his arms we skated 

Asked me again around we went 
His body close to mine tingling 
Could he love me could I make him 
Make his urges boil, that I could 

Love me he did I knew I could 
Love will answer all when you're young

The Last Ride ~~ a Sad Day for Adi

     Today is World Suicide Prevention Day 

(That was September 10, 2018.  The link at the bottom here still is valid,  probably updated by the time you read this.)

Her Last Ride

It would be her last ride
One of many she'd been before

Going to her doctor
It wasn't her favorite ride 

Getting old is not fun
Seizures were her worst, eating next

Wasn't her idea
Going that day not a fun ride

Being with her lover
That made it some better for her

No more fun days she'd have
For her, assisted suicide 

But I've been thinking how 
It's Doggie Heaven she is in 



Adi Jane was my constant companion.  She and I were a registered Pet Therapy Team and made many, many visits together, adding pleasure to kids and shut-ins. 
Adi died September 17, 2012 ............ (read my tribute to her here)

 - Today we are writing Nonet form poems.  According to our teacher, Marian,  a Nonetheless should have nine lines, the first with nine sylabels, next eight, then seven, and so on. We could follow that starting with a one syllable line and work our way up to nine again.
