Ripe

Post-pubescent, her womanhood blooming,
Boys sniffing round, older men grooming…
She’s yet to decide,
Let alone to confide,
Whom she’ll give herself to… just assuming.

Efflorescence

In her teens, as she filled out and bloomed,
A new life of adventure soon loomed…
Boys with cars (smooch and cruise),
Parties, drugs, sex and booze…
To all this, not unpleasantly, doomed.
