Danger Zone
I do not know why I did this;
Oh, yes, I do… that Cosmic Kiss
The one that kept me here with you
This place created by our bliss
We came together, ingenue
We were both just feeling blue
You came to me; we laughed a lot
And now I sit here, kissing you
I didn’t think you’d be besot
I didn’t think we’d get so hot
I have to get me out of here
If they find out, we’ll both be shot
You know I love you, Darling Dear
When I’m with you I have no fear
But now that they know, it is clear
I’ve got to get me out of here
Weird. I don’t know where this stuff comes from. I read the prompt, opened my compendium and started writing… and a version of Lolita came out. Weird.
thrilling write… A love that must remain hidden. once figured out – you have to give it up… leaves me wanting to know why exactly
“ingenue” is a hint as to why… This scenario grew in my mind as I wrote, and I didn’t know where it had gone until the end. I love it when that happens. :
ah, ok! Totally get the hint now… thanks 🙂
Vladimir Stokes strikes again; you really jumped the form, sir, & the twisting wit is lovely. You seem comfortable in form prompts; I have to struggle a bit, since my poetic verbosity tends tends to run on for pages. Enjoyed your humorous & naughty verses.
Thank you, Glenn. I thought this one was going to require effort to conform to the form, but it came easily. I never know.
looks like you had fun with this
It seemed like “first love” to me. That 12 year old experiment with the boy next door kind of thing. How well you adapted it to the form. Here instead of giving thee reader the exhilaration of the kiss, you emphasize the panic of getting caught, by other kids or parents..a time when the opposite sex still had “cooties”. Very clever and well done.
You’re right, Gay- it works that way too. I like that perspective.
should have been “the” not “thee”….this keyboard is sticky sometimes.
Oh the excitement of illicit love. Love it!

Nice romantic write ~ I like the title too, smiles ~
I love when poems happen like this! It lilts along very winningly.
Me too, Sherry. Such a mysterious process…
A forbidden love.. The moment before eloping…
Perceptive, Bjorn. One of the lines before I edited was, “I have to get you out of here”. She was still too young…
heh. made me think of a hidden or secret love
that once found out becomes rather dangerous….
esp if they come carrying shot guns, you know…
ha
I’ll never tell, Brian. : )
Love is dangerous, but beautifully so in spite of the danger.
A haiku I wrote a while back:
Life is full of risk
Even love is dangerous
…if you do it right
a nice feeling to be in love
