Both your poems were superb especially considering your young age when writing. I love the idea of looking back at my old writing I may do this for the competition. I was full of feelings and anger in my early writing days, raging against the unfairness of the world. Not so much now. I love this poem and idea and wish you all the best with the competition. Kindest regards and well done kindest regards Kevin.

It is fun to look back at our early poems. Usually we see a much different form than we ate using today. The thoughts that we have now are always more mature than those of our younger years. Thanks for sharing, Terry.

I like the picture. It certainly reflect a girl in your mind. I don't know why you chose no title. Does that mean the past is gone and no need to remember it? Therefore it leaves no title.

Thanks for sharing

    Thank you for reading, It was called No Title, because it didn't have one and the rules said you could not edit it. Terry.

A lovely example of early poetry that aches with love lost and youthful angst. A three-month dating relationship had a major impact on you, especially when she "dumped" you. I like the two references to May.

This poem captures that tender after-action feeling when a feeling of love may have been kindled, but just as quickly rubbed out by the fickle finger of fate.

Dang it. That love thing bites again and bites back, hard. So many encounters and so few lasting ones. I don't suppose the month of May will ever be the same to you again, right?

Interesting

Great poem about lost love opportunities. Poignant and powerful poem. I loved it and saw and imagined the heartbreak of a failed love affair. I like your use of everyday language throughout.

    Jake, I am not much of a poet, more a storyteller, but thank you for the review. Terry.

Excellent entry for the--Show us MORE of Your Early Poetry-- writing prompt contest.

Breaking up is hard to do but sometimes works out for the best. I enjoyed your unique writing style. Good presentation. Your writing flows naturally and it's easy to understand.

Well done.

I must admit to truly enjoying reading these poems from the past. Even though in reality they are all from the past, so I should qualify that with the "distant" past.

Wishing you great luck with the voters. :))

Your commentary is just as interesting as the poem, but the poem means more because of it. Yes, 1968 is a while ago- it qualifies as early poetry. Best wishes in the contest.
