1. Sixteenth

This was my first time making a poem with some narrative put in it. Enjoy :)

"What's your name?"

the teenage boy asked.

The girl looked up

and said , "May."

"Well hello May,

My name is Dan."

The teenage boy said

with a grin that he had

May smiled as well.

Her hands did a light wave

Dan felt proud

of the words exchanged.

"How old are you May?"

Dan questioned.

He wanted an answer,

yet wasn't sure if he was gaining it.

"This is my 16th summer."

The ginger answered.

"And what about you?

My bet is yours too."

Dan laughed,

tugging a string 

in May's broken heart.

"I'm sorry Miss May.

But I, Daniel, has spent

18 summers

'til this day."

May laughed.

She laughed.

"Well I must say."

she answered.

"You act as if it were your eight."

Dan feigned pain

as he held his chest.

"Oh, beautiful May.

You broke my heart to pieces.

For it is now a wreck!"

May smiled

to the boy she met.

It was her sixteenth summer

that saved her days.
