Awakenings
By Talisker

Another male contributor claimed to have had their sexual awakening at 14.  Mine was much earlier - a bloody long time before I could do anything about it though!

Ah, such innocence...


The Encyclopaedia Britannica,
A tampon leaflet,
An inquisitive ten year old boy

Primary school library
One finger in sex,
One in sewerage,
Just in case.

There I stand,
My little legs aquiver,
Face burning red

He puts what where?
No! When they lie… never!
And a pleasurable experience,
Oh dear, everyone’s looking.
Put the big book back.

Then there’s a little leaflet,
Mummy dropped at home,
With graphic instructions,
And a line drawing,
Of lady-bits!

How dirty I felt,
Guilty,
Sinful

How sweet,
And innocent,
Looking back

Maybe something I wouldn't want to write about but it was very descriptive...Um, I really have nothing to comment any further.....

Oh wait, watch out for spelling in the beginning...
Oh right enough...

I just noticed from a forum comment that you are only 14 y/o Peeano. 
 
Its all a bit fresh for you, this puberty lark. Give it 30 years and you'll find this funny/nostalgic. Maybe.

P.S. Can't find the spelling mistake! :grin

A nice idea - could relate to the sentiment of this but wasn't really drawn in by the writing. Could just be too early in the day though. 
 
No spelling mistakes that I could see.

You're a wonderful poet Oli, but every now and then something puerile appears. Back to more serious poetry?

Actually, I'm not sure that either of my two could spell encyclopedia in either dialect. Though I think they do know what it means. . . 
 
Speaking of encyclopedias, they did supply handy knowledge that my sisters and I failed to gain from ripping the underwear off a neighbor's Ken doll (we were deprived kids without Barbies or their cohorts).  
 
Sighing Bat!

Wrong on all counts Batty. 
 
(1) I'm not a wonderful poet 
 
(2) This is neither trivial (to me) nor childish (what child would write such a thing?) Perhaps ill conceived, I'll give you that. 
 
(3) Serious poetry! Great Moses on a skateboard! You couldn't make it up! 
 
Oli ;)

Cor, Moses is getting around a bit on this site of late, albeit in a very carbon-friendly manner.  
 
Who said that poetry had to be serious anyway? Didn't think it was trivial or childish either. I quite liked it in fact, not your your best but still better than most :)

Puerile was the wrong word. I meant something like teenage-like, rebellious, etc, but I forgot what the correct word was ;) 
 
Never mind. :grin
Memories

This brought back memories. I too, recall looking up certain words that I had heard around the playground, scared that an adult might find out what I was doing. 
 
The poem was quirky and hit a personal note with me. :)

Liked this Oli. Kids still do it now. 'Sex' is the most well thumbed page in the school dictionaries etc. 
 
'Lady-bits' - Lovely. 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.
