Poem by Andrew Taylor

I am acting editor of The Wonder Book of Poetry while Kit Kelen is away and I have been rounding up outstanding poems from friends. This is one I received from Andrew Taylor which I think is so unusual and delightful I wanted to share it here too. Hope you like it, and cruise on over to thewonderbookofpoetry.org
to read some more.

How we survived adolescence

Andrew Taylor

Wherever she tumbled I fell

up hill and down dell dale

and wherever we fell I lay I she lay

panting pantless that day

she me on top of me her

on the ridge of shifting sand

the sea pounding below our

frantic & ampersand

later we packed our gear

our thoughts regrets delight over bright as the moon

[later we left the beach

back to our lonely rooms]

a hug a kiss a quick look round

‘I’ll call you soon!’
