Philippe’s Poetry - Words of Rhythm and Rhymes Summary Poem - 6. I Hate this Town - Chapter 20, Comment Poem

Heart to Heart, is what for so long, they needed,

Denied it, did Alec and Finn, but their hearts, they still pleaded.

Back to the overlook, the ole favorite from then,

Sharing the tailgate, a new Alec, him and Finn.

Finally his mind allows some joy, didn’t make Alec recoil,

Emotions now freed, raging want, makes the blood boil.

Taming all the young man wilds, time to talk about the past,

Hurt came from both back then, so did love, did that still last?

Raw emotions, what would have, could have, should have been,

Without weigh from others, their education, family and friend.

Revisiting their past brings pains of old, falling into ruts retold,

Alec must leave, Finn must stay, neither willing to be so bold.

Finn has panic for lost to come, Alec now the expert to calm,

Weird to Alec with warts he feels, Finn knows Alec to be the bomb.

Where will they go, what will they do, pros and cons we learn in school,

When Alec can’t think, it’s up the River for reason can pool.

River has interest in local faire, perhaps his advise Alec want scare,

See the best the hometown gives, Family of Finn, with Finn, may bear.
