| 5 DAY TRUTH or FICTION BLOGGING CHALLENGE Blog Prompt for Day 5 - Tell us about your earliest memory of finding romantic love I saw the above prompt at Cinn  . But did she write truth or fiction?So here goes: I fall at first sight. Tumble over myself again and again. I wrote poems about this elsewhere and three are in my chapbook "This and Every November". First day of class 4th grade: 4 new classmates: Michaelene, Lauren, Jerome, Suzanne. I liked all of them. Saw Suzanne at 10th year reunion and Jerry at a baseball reunion. But it was Suzanne that I fell for. Still remember so much... Oh to be 10 again and riding my red bike past her house in the May fog. Her birthday is in September. And then in 9th grade there was Mark, a wonderful friendly cheerful boy born in May who grew up to be a warm freindly man. Head over heels. My 'first love'. And when we met around 2002 he told me that he knew that. Kevin. Yeah, I was 26 and close to the precipice. His friendship brought me back from the edge. Born December 1st. Think "Sweet Baby James". We were friends for 24 years...  Gary... is my Muse! I was no longer young. Born a Libra in October he's my opposite. But, he reminded me so much of my father, Robert, a kid from high school who died in an accident (Gary was born the same year 9 months later). Something about him... So I still call him to hear his laughter. There have been others throughout my life. People I meet and click with immediately. I try hard these days to keep connections alive; but, Life is not all about me and others have their own priorities. And relationships change over time. 1.385. |
