Silly Poems

I wrote this poem years ago for Read Magazine. They didn't buy it and I've sent it all over the place since, with no takers.

So . . . I'm posting it here because I think some of my teen nieces and great nieces and maybe my granddaughter, Elaina, will think it's funny. Plus, maybe a geeker is in love with one of them. Here's his side. Let me know girls!

Geeker in Love

By Susan Sundwall                                                               

I see her walking

down the hall, my love

the bestest girl of all.

Her eyes are red,

her lips are blue, no wait,

I’ve just confused the two!

And now she’s standing

next to me; my face goes numb

I want to flee.

I cannot look her

in the face, ‘cause I’m a geek

and she is grace.

She opens up her locker door;

a note falls out

upon the floor.

She picks it up but doesn’t know

it’s me, the geek,

who loves her so.

I didn’t, couldn’t, sign the note,

and now my tongue

swells in my throat.

I’m gonna faint, I’m gonna fall,

disgrace myself

here in the hall.

But just before I kiss the floor,

I see her eyes

and she looks sore!

She wads my note into a ball;

I watch her walk

back down the hall.

The very bestest girl of all.
