Bruddah mine, This was quite revealing. As always, she is stuck with the stick and the shtick of worrying. The reference, "threw it away," very direct in meaning. Helluva good job! Your sistah, Ameleh http://sharplittlepencil.com/2013/03/15/cinquains-amy-tackles-a-form/
Ameleh - Some people give away their virginity - I couldn't get any takers until I was a month shy of 20, and mostly she took pity on me. Yes, she's stuck and trying to right a wrong after the fact.
When I see beautiful young women with these schlumpo loser guys, I figure this is what happened, yo brudda in verse, Mosk
Hey, I was well in 19 myself, and he was the worst boyfriend you could imagine: A Catholic priest!! Oy, now I understand why my little Volvo was smashed by a nun in a Buick.
But I really wanted someone to "love me and leave me," since I had no sense of self-worth. And he really, really needed a confidential lay. wink Ameleh
Well, by the time I got here, everyone has already said what I'd thought of saying. :) So marvelously done . .thank you, poet friend!! p.s. This is kind of an off the wall add on, but I suddenly remembered our oldest telling about how a guy in her biology class volunteered his urine to run tests on. He came up pregnant. :)
Fantastic - great story in a short form.

ReplyDeleteThanks Kelvin. This was very close to my heart and spleen.
DeleteAww, poor girl, and I can't help but laugh. The title kills me!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so predictable- thanks, Mosk
Deletebloody brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
DeleteSad that it's true... I love the bluntness of her thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and it was a challenge to not overwrite.
DeleteThat's quite a story in a few syllables!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteYep...it's all easy!
ReplyDeleteYes, but the regret sometimes doesn't cooperate.

Very good, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteLike a punch in the gut, Buddah. Really well written - every word adds to the image you've painted. Why did she do it, and why blue?
ReplyDeleteWhy did she do it? Horniness probably. The blue is probably the result of tons of market research.
DeleteShortest verse novel I ever read!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your high praise!
DeleteBrilliant work Buddah. What a creative cinquain! Loved the picture in the video too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteArghhhh, post-hoc rationalizations, how ugly, how common. How sad. Nicely done in such short space!
ReplyDeleteIt's too common as I see it. Thanks.
Deleteso much punch packed into such a tight form. marvelously woven.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you.
DeleteAmazingly poignant! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much.

ReplyDeletep.s. This is kind of an off the wall add on, but I suddenly remembered our oldest telling about how a guy in her biology class volunteered his urine to run tests on. He came up pregnant. :)
Thanks, and that's a whole different kind of immaculate conception!
DeleteA poem and story in short form; very well executed! And with humor, at that! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I see it as dark humor at best.
DeleteAmazing, short yet powerful and effective. Well written, my friend, well written.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my writer friend.
DeleteAgree with all preceding comments -tight and power packed - now that I know where to find you be seeing you at dVerse :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes, when you impose a boundary, everything gets more intense.
Deleteouch. that cinquain hurt. bravo.
ReplyDeleteThat's what *she* said. Thanks.
