The innocent girl
The one who doesn't understand the joke her friends make
But knows that they are wrong
The innocent girl
The one who doesn't:
Swear
Drink
Or do
Drugs
The sixteen year old without her first kiss
The innocent girl
Could she be the happiest one out of us all?

I don&#039;t need a rose. I want a daisy you picked for my hair. I don&#039;t want some fancy box of chocolate. I want a pink frosting cookie you made just for me. Lets skip the upscale restaraunt and have a picnic in the park.

This poem seems more structured than some of the others you have written. It has a definite rhythm to it. I like the way you wrote this. Something to consider, what if you were to not use the colon in the 5th line, and instead used commas? And maybe broke up the 10th line? It would add to the great ryhthm you already have in place

(So, it'd look like this)

The one who doesn't

Swear,

Or drink,

Or do drugs

The sixteen year old

Without her first kiss

 

Just a thought though, you did a fantastic job as is

This was really good. I like how it kinda made you feel guilty about yourself. Thats exactly what poetry is about: making others feel the emotions you want them to feel.  Great job!!!!
