From PAD (Poem a Day): "For today's prompt, write a history poem. This could mean a poem about your country's history, the history of an event or a tool, or even your own personal history. Hey, you could even write about the history of a relationship. The history of everything is fair game."

light and breezy

you thought it so easy

to think of me as sleazy

just cause you, that one time, pleased me

but baby you didn't really

leave me caught up

like i let on

light and breezy

so hard sometimes to be me

overwhelmed by the reality

you're just here to tease me

child, you're just a minor hiccup

oh, excuse me

light and breezy

wondering what happened to me

why you just can't see me

and you being so heavy

when you know things were just chilly

light and breezy

you thought you'd play me

taking your eight unreturned calls to maybe

realize i was gone as quickly

as i appeared, baby

light

breezy
