My First Date

Go to Zine5 Interactive

Most people have romantic memories about their first date. They do a lot of interesting things and usually get dreamy and nostalgic thinking about it. Well, thinking of mine, I laugh out loudly. To put it simply, I wrote this poem.

On my first date...

I was hyperactive
And noisy,
Ignorant
And clumsy...

I tripped
I fell,
And made
His life hell...

I chattered
I laughed
I sputtered
And coughed...

I stepped
On his feet,
But still
He was sweet...

He teased me
And I cried,
To calm me down
He tried...

He then held
My hand
And helped
Me stand...

I looked
Into his eyes,
And told him
"You're so nice..."

I did make
His day,
In my own
Small way...

So, how was my
First date,
Didn't you wonder if it's
"Love or hate?"
