Every Date
I’m your one-time girl.
A heart on her sleeve
Wishing to be a pearl
A lack of interest I perceive
But, the treatment I receive
It makes me wish women could enjoy
But still, be offered a reprieve
Rather than feel like I annoy
Every text I deploy
You take forever to respond
“stay the night” is the fantasy
But you're done, with a yawn
Awkward kiss, and I’m gone.
“Text when you get home safe.”
“No need to stay till dawn.”
“Let me know; we could do it again.”
I’m your one-time girl.
Always so naive
Hoping for the world
Wishing I’d speak up as I leave

Vocal Challenges Made Me a Better Writer and Keep Me Writing
For new writers like myself, this article is meant to convey the things I’ve personally learned by participating in the various types of Vocal challenges; things that I think made me a better writer. I’m sure there are many more lessons than what I’ve listed, but these are the ones that brought me “aha!” moments.

I liked this poem. Felt familiar. Nice going.
First dates can be unnerving
