A year ago, I met someone
In sort of an unusual place
Walking around the carnival
We stopped and started talking
           I “stole” his hat, and he bought me one
           We only had a few hours that night
           But we tried to keep in touch
           There were a few calls here and there
But they started to stop
And then it was carnival tyme again
The first night was just awesome
Like nothing at all has changed
            We spent hours together
            Holding each other in the back of a truck
            Each day we spent more tyme together
            And my boyfriend slipped from my mind
They all started calling him my boyfriend
And we both just went along with it
We slept in each other’s arms
Each day I grew more attached to him
            And I fell in love with him
            I dreamt of him holding me
           And he woke me up with a kiss
            It was hard to believe the week was over
We lied next to each other in the yard
Talking, whispering, holding each other
When my parents told me it was tyme to go
He walked me to the van and gave me a hug
            I told him I loved him and he said the same
            I cried as we drove away, leaving him behind
           A tear started its way down my cheek
            I waved to him, and blew him a kiss
And promised myself I’d be back soon . . .

Aww Tamma, how sweet! Make sure you go back!!  
Your poem was very nicely written. The format was pretty cool.

That was sweet Tamma!  Carnivals are sooooo fun!  I went to one a few weeks ago w/ my friend Donna.  Our carnivals are friday, saturday, sunday kinda carnivals tho.  We went Saturday and I got to ride this Paratrooper thing w/ my friend Mike, and we went Sunday and that's when I met Greg/Gre.  We hung out from seven to almost eleven and he walked me and her home, an arm around my waist the whole time.  Problem was, we were supposed to be home at ten.  Thank god Donna's dad found us instead of my mom because she doesn't knwo Greg/Gre, and he's 19.  Anyways, i still think it would have been better if my Justin had been there.  I tried to get him to go, but he didn't have any money and he didn't want me to pay for him.

I know you're in a better place and though I cannot see your face, I know you're smiling down on me, saying everything's okay. ~R Kelly (I wish)

Great poem Tamma.  It must have been hard to lose someone who meant so much to you.  Thanks for the great read!

I love it! The emotion is so... well, not obvious, but not hidden either. Great job!

I liked this one Tamma....very sweetly done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
