In the pub, she's all dolled up
In low cut, short cut gear,
He knows she's only aged fifteen
"Hell, what's another year?"
In uniform, she walks to school
Her breasts look firm and pert,
He knows she's only aged fourteen
"A year or two can't hurt."
In the pool she's almost nude
Cold nipples standing proud
He knows she's only aged thirteen
"In Spain I'd be allowed."
In a catalogue, in bra and pants
Smiling from the page,
He knows she's only twelve years old
"Love can't be ruled by age."
In the park, she's on the swings
He's leering up her skirt,
He know she's aged eleven years
"She's such a knowing flirt."
In the dark, he's peering in
Watching as she gets undressed,
He know she's only aged ten years
"Love cannot be repressed."
In the dock, he looks no more
He weeps in guilty shame,
He knows she's only aged nine years
"She guessed my sordid game."
In a cell for seven years
Each year will last an age,
He knows they were but children
"My lust has earned its cage."

Not easy to read, but done very well and like Pia says he gets what he deserves. Well done.

It's a brave thing to put yourself in the mind of, what most of us consider to be, a pervert, and to justify their actions. A very good piece indeed.

Hi Shirley,
Unfortunately people like the character in this poem will always try to justify what they do. At the risk of sounding pretentious, i hope this poem is a reminder that although they might fool themselves they ain't fooling the rest of us.
Thankyou so much for your supportive comment.

Pia, that sadly is true.

Honest and brave. I love the confronting/ controversial in writing, it emphasises that there is nothing too 'taboo' to be written about. Youve framed that well with this poem :)

Thank you BeKsta. I had held off submitting this one for ages (pardon the pun) but I'm pleased I did.
