I\u2019m following Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s advice, as per my previous post, and writing a poem. Here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Classroom Crush
She\u2019s a beauty
And no mistake
Long brown hair
A fine filly
With a luxuriant mane
Just enough jewellery
To suggest sophisticated decadence
Sat with her peach of a derri\u00e8re
On the edge of her desk.
A green velvet jacket
A colourful batik silk scarf
Enchanting hazel eyes
A voice that\u2019s refined
Commanding obedience
Oh so willingly given
Long elegant fingers
Rest on a copy
Of Sirens of Titan.
Oh, Mrs Martin
Your Mona Lisa smile
Always baffled and beguiled
I wonder how many
Boys hearts you quickened
Or maybe broke?
Sat in the ranks
Of hideous brown plastic chairs
I secretly loved you.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m following Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s advice, as per my previous post, and writing a poem.
