Teenage Boys - a Series of Haikus

Gotta Love Them!

Louisa Burgess
Loud music wakes us
pizza boxes soda cans
those are teenage boys

Footballs, soccer balls
baseballs through windows next door
careless teenage boys

Sex and violence shows
video games all over
noisy teenage boys

Late night phone calls or
text messaging during meals
crazy teenage boys

Fights frights horror flicks
bikes and bullies then fast cars
scary teenage boys

Fast girls broken hearts
some beer parties in the woods
scruffy teenage boys

Stumbles and troubles
sleepless nights and dark circles
damn those teenage boys

Tears for friends now gone
such sadness and confusion
lonely teenage boys

Love them and hug them
their hearts softer than you know
praise those teenage boys

    Beautifully written and right on... I especially loved "Stumbles and troubles,sleepless nights and dark circles" and "Love them and hug them
    their hearts softer than you know."
