Sizzle! Oh, I'd say you passed! I vaguely remember nights like this. Now it's heating pads and inhalers. Lol....

Time flies when you're getting old!

This really captures the feeling of young love and first love very well. Love the vivid imagery and storytelling. Especially since this was a challenge poem. Not quite certain if I like the final four lines but everything else was ace.

Not sure what illegal passion is, but you created a not so romantic meeting in a pick up truck here. I would like to challenge you to write a traditional sonnet? Can you manage that for me? Love Dolly x

I liked your poem very much. You really captured the feel of the two teenagers "under the light of the new moon." Thanks for sharing this with the community.

Great response to the challenge. You set the scene well for this replay of love's first dance. The thrill of breaking societal norms is evident, alcohol, weed, teenage sex..

You use poetic licence with " under the light of the new moon" since the new moon isn't visible. Works well though as a metaphor for new beginnings..

Did you mean "illicit passion" at the end? I guess we've all been there at one time or another.

Thanks for sharing Shelley

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

nicely done. This would make a great C and W song. You should send it around to a C and W songwriter and see if some one would pick it up. I can hear it now on a C and W station - not that I am that into C and W mind you. More of a blues man myself.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Well you have certainly fulfilled the brief Shelley Kaye of drinking beer and trucks and a whole lot more. Yes you have passed with flying colours. Well done.
