Romance Poem: The New Guy in Englewood, by K. L. Singleton

That handsome man caught my eye.
On the busy street amongst the shops and carts of food.
I dearly hoped we could both say hi.

My friend shot me a question out her eye.
She yanked on my fur collar, trying to tell me what’s good.
That handsome man caught my eye.

I kept feeling my friend’s stare as she sipped her chai.
I looked across the street at the man who worked under the car hood.
I dearly hoped we could both say hi.

My curiosity ran high.
Finally, my friend noticed and she coed.
That handsome man caught my eye.

I decided to let my courage run high.
We both wondered if he was new to Englewood.
I dearly hoped we could both say hi.

I turned to my friend to say bye.
I watched her walk back to the neighborhood.
That handsome man caught my eye,
I dearly hoped we could both say hi.
