Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #327
I've Been Feeling
by Belinda Roddie
I've been feeling a bit like teenagers
do when they're confronted with challenges
and adulthood. And yet, I'm twenty-eight,
and I'm consumed in grown-up craziness.
I'd never want to relive high school years,
but less responsibility sounds nice,
and I would love to sneak out with my peers
for dumb shenanigans after midnight,
raiding gas station marts for junk food, and
trespassing on abandoned property,
counting the stars in the sky all by hand
and whining about our boring city.
I'd never want to be sixteen again,
but was my life much easier back then?
