Dirty Words: Notes of an Online Journal
“Dirty Words”
I’m not accustom as you think,
To let the readers of this site
Be privy to my day in ink
Of so much of my private life.
But not to fret, could’ve been worse,
It wasn’t anything that hurt.
No dirty words, I didn’t curse,
Or let them reach inside my shirt.
The other kids would roughly play,
And me, the newest to be led.
They’d push me back until one day
I threw a boy over my head!
I looked at him down on the grass,
His gang in shock they didn’t speak.
They picked him up to kick his ass,
I ran away on legs so weak.

When you've had it, you've had it! I think all little girls experience this to a point, Kathy. When we've had it we've had it. It has to come out somehow!
I Love these glimpses into your life, BTW.

Thank you, Ahavati - you've got that right. I was the youngest ( not counting the infants ) in a rough neighborhood at the time - rough ( and dangerous at times for the children which I'm letting set the tone including myself as a young adult, for at least some of my NaPo writes. The path is not completely revealed to myself as yet. But yes, more glimpses to come, dear Poetess.

Thank you, LilDragonFly , how sweet and kind of you to say. Envious though, well, I've only started trying rhyme in my recent past as a writer ( up until, I was always exclusively into free verse which is still my forte if you can call it that ),, and I have a long long way to go before I'm simply passable. And if I can do it...
blessings,
Kathy : )

Thank you so much Josh. It never seemed precious to me until in recent years I started to get in touch with my spirituality ( which probably saved or prolonged my life ). And it wasn't my concept of what precious was/ is, but a higher power. "Insider's view", yes.
