Trouble is one of three winning poetry submissions for last month’s poetry party: How Do I Love Thee? It was submitted by The Haunted Lullaby blogger, Jarrod.
I met a young lady late last night,
She was as brunette as she could be,
With the most piercing green eyes I’ve ever seen,
I extended my hand to ask her name,
With a snicker and a giggle she told me,
”Whatever you want it to be”,
I could sense it was all part of a game,
With a wink, she informed me if I had some money,
She would allow me to call her “honey”,
And with a wicked smile, asked me if I’d like to join her in a drink,
With a reach of my hand, she gave it a squeeze,
To me, she seemed like the ultimate tease,
With a sparkle in her eye and a smirk on her face,
She asked my story: where I came from, what I’ve done,
Things like, who am I seeing and what I hoped I would become,
When the drinks were gone and the talking done,
She slammed down her glass,
“I hope I see you again someday”, she whispered, with a little sass,
Turned and began to walk away,
As I watched the sway of her hips,
She turned once more puckering her red devilish lips,
A smirking grin spread across her face,
She squinted her gleaming emerald eyes at me,
And said her name was spelled “T – R – O – U – B – L –E. “
