My thoughts during October, 2005

The fun of 16

sixth form
first love
sweet sixteen bash
flute lessons
campion extras

P.S. Funny how the lists are already getting shorter

Storm passed

When the darkness lifts,
All around, large and small,
Come up for air.
Smelling the freshness,
Which belies the woes
Wrought in her passing…

The joys of 15

national water polo team
male friends who drive
french class trip to Canada
being part of a group
good CXC results
maturity to accept wearing glasses

Didcha know…?

Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Robert and Richard - Pair of good-looking twins that used to play water polo with me back in the day.
Where was your first kiss…

The thrill of 14

shaving my legs
CXC subjects
first boyfriend
first kiss
drive-in movies without a car
exchanging watches with your guy
slow dancing at a BBQ
making the water polo team
choosing swimming over girl guides

The bliss of 13

secret crushes
calling up a strange boy out of the blue
dreaming of a first kiss
watching older brothers after school
thinking the worst thing you could catch was chicken pox
planning an outfit weeks before a party
exchanging letters with penpals
sleeping over at a friend’s house
giggly conversations about what “he” said
a never-been-broken heart

Softly

A stream of bubbles,
all from the same breath,
glistening in the light,
tiny rainbows each,
short-lived they float,
each alone, shielded,
until one by one
they end their time,
alone in a stream
