Reading the Signs Wrong

 

With crushes, a girl’s life can be full of meaning,

That even an innocent act can change her everything,

Then she starts to think that the act means something,

Oh, girls, I know you’re familiar with this feeling.

 

On the way to school, he bumps at you and it’s his fault

And your heart starts doing its usual somersault,

You can’t help but think that it wasn’t just an accident,

So you write on your diary about this meaningful event.

 

He picks up the books that fell to the ground,

He mumbles a sorry, with your name he bound,

First words he said to you plays in a loop de loop,

Stuttering “thank you” while fighting urge to poop.

 

Carrying the books, he offers to walk you to class,

And when he learns you’re in the same, he tells you he’s an a*s.

Giggling, you spank him and tell him “it’s okay,”

Deep inside, you’re crumbling since he only learned that day.

 

Bored, he asks you about you in class,

You tell him you like pink ‘cause you are a lass.

The next day, he comes to school looking so pink,

Whole day, the shirt’s meaning is all that you think.

 

In Chemistry, the teacher announces each pair,

He said it’s a project so a table you’ll share.

And when it is announced that you are working with your crush,

You take it as God’s sign, so you start to blush.

 

Before you sleep, he texts you “Good night”

You clench your chest ‘cause it feels so tight,

You think for an hour on how to reply,

To a message he sent in just a blink of an eye.

 

The next week you see him again at that same spot,

An idea that he’s into you makes you think that you have a shot,

But then this time he bumps into another girl,

Déjà vu flashes but with an unexpected twirl.

While I can't comprehend your ongoing fascination with fecal matter :P but there are some very incredible points to this piece.

(1) The pink shirt. One of the truest, most touching tragedies of pre-relationship amblings.

(2) The text message... the fact that idle conversation for him has made your entire night... you captured that brilliantly.

(3) The utterly depressing (and spot-on accurate) ending.

Well done.

I can't say I love the "urge to poop" line, but other than that I think this is good, haha! It just seems kind of silly compared to all the other meaningful comparisons you delve into. I think you made the poem able to relate to its readers and painted very vivid images throughout it!

A nice write. You convey the emotions well. A fun read.

[Emily Weaver]

Young and in love (well having a crush anyway) is soooo what we never want to relive again. You gave it a humorous touch. Making the reliving a pleasure. Stuttering and half giggling are nutty when one remembers back when... :) I'm sorry though, that your character had to fall for a cad. That's what really makes the rest of the poem funny, actually. That chick is gonna go through the same thing, the cad. (Yep, I'm a tinch bitter...memories wish I could erase them) Good poem though, cute and extremely relatable. :)

[Nish...]

I think every girl can relate to this poem. It's really nice!

Wonderful job at your rhyming scheme, and the flow goes by perfectly. Emotions are strong on some points, but weaker in the others. There were a couple parts that made me chuckle a little, such as the line "Stuttering “thank you” while fighting urge to poop.", and others had a certain emotion added to it as I look down at shame what the other guys could seriously do. The ending was very accurate, some guys really DO play a girl like that, and it makes me quite sick. Keep up the great work!
