Youth and Love

[medic1]

Gorgeous poem Cupid !
Youth and love can and does work , i was with my lover almost 13 wonderfull years .

The young are often told to save love for later, that now is the time to play, as if you can't love and play with the one you love.
Youth is a time for love and learning how to love.

How old was the author when the poem was composed?

It’s cute, but sort of reads like typical dried up old lady hindsight.

I asked to have the thread deleted. Whelp.

If you wanted specific input, a bit of commentary from you would have been nice. It’s not too late, yet.

Are you having romance trouble?

 

[Kahaih]

No sir, I'm genuinely okay now.

I do like that poem though.

I’m glad to know you’re ok.

I like the poem, too.

I suspect you are at an age where emotions keep you in a whirlwind. That’s ok, too. Go with it and learn. And definitely feel free to talk about it.






Sorry, I didn’t see your image. I block most of that stuff on this site.

That's beautiful.

 

[Stoowii]

Thanks for the compliment, but stick to the subject.

*Fuck me for not being able to find that Kylie gif of her finger snapping! If I had found it, it would go here.*

I'd rather not open up those wounds.

Tbh, I'm here to get life!

Whelp...

And, I’m sure no one will accuse you of plagiarism.

My heart broke at 19 when I was a sophomore in college.

He was blond, bright, beautiful, a ripped runner.

But, his heart was cold.

I can't remember when it stopped hurting, but it did.

I don't think on it often, but it will always be there, the rejection, the despair.

I'm glad other joys came after in life.

Of course things got better, you got that good D.

"When I was one-and-twenty..."

by A. E. Housman (1859-1936)


When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.'
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

And this thread is STILL open, mods hew?

If it closes, nobody can add to it.
If it nobody can add to it, it'll move to the second page within 24 hours.
Even the mods know that some things simply cannot be allowed to take place.

you know, they really beat the idea to young adults, teenagers and even kids that they have to experience love and sex so early. it's ridiculous. bad enough, the peer pressure from the peers will make anybody feel like shit if they're not dating by the 8th grade. terrible. at least, that was the case about 10 years ago back in high school. dunno if it's the same now for the younger crowd now. it does seem more acceptable to be a 20 year old virgin with no experience now compared to 10 years ago where someone was viewed as damaged goods. people would look down on you if you weren't fucking at a certain age.

Well shiiiit, let me get started

The poem comes from A Shropshire Lad which was published in 1896. Houseman, who was 37 at the time, was neither old nor a lady.

"What, still alive at twenty two,
a clean upstanding youth like you ?

A very good parody of Housman's verse. Look it up and see the following lines. By Hugh Kingsmill. Housman thought it was good !

Time is fleeting. Soon you will be an old maid.

Yeah, I went through that growing up.
