Where are U
Gerard Duvall?
2 cute 2 B
4 gotten.
Leather coat,
groovy French name,
eyes cool as mud,
auburn mane.
In teenage shade
U left your cabbage
heart 4 me,
white as paper.
27
frozen kisses,
star-crossed
in my book.
I counted
empty pages
awaiting
butterflies.
Note:- Before the age of Facebook and digital ‘likes’ adolescents used autograph books with pastel colored pages to collect signatures and messages from their friends. These often included humorous rhymes.
