A sweatshirt
In August

One of the ways
To carry
All that you own
In the world

Back in school
Were you beautiful
Did boys write poems
Filled with adoring rhymes
To your dark blond hair

Not being
Of much use
For anything else
Who now
Will approach you
If at all
With any other
But one thing in mind

It’s time for you to go
The bus is here

And no one’s waiting
To take you home

A rather on the dark side for you
Isn’t it?

But no matter, I like dark,
Like the brief story;
Might I add to it???

The bus was late arriving at its stop
And there was time for her to window shop
But her reflection of her that was now
Dissuaded interest in shopping somehow
Who was that woman with wrinkles of face
How has time put her in the school girl’s place

Gloom
Granted the format is not much like yours
But the thought is there
Reflecting

It seems that it would be hardest for those that once were adored to lose that adoration...James

I like it.

But from the guy's perspectives it is also dark:

And where did a charming smile leave a shy boy standing as the pretty gals say, "no"
Turning down gently for they say
Relationships were not on their mind ... ...

A rich boy comes along taking away the lady
whose laugh was coquette,
"You're the nicest guy arond!"

(She never wanted nice guys before)

I even heard
the school bell ring.

Well done, John.  Thank you.
