By Jo Phillips
Here at .Cent Magazine we are proud to support all things poetry and literature. We have worked with the Liars League, a fiction and poetry collective who present monthly live readings of writers work from all around the world read by professional actors.
Grace Andreacchi writes novels, plays, short stories and poetry and features in our Dark Romance issue available here.
She presents a melancholy reminiscence of her first love with a nostalgic and youthful feel.
First Love
The first great love of my life
was a boy with green hair
whom I saw in a movie of the same name.
He was the saddest boy in the world
on account of the green hair
he suffered and shed many tears.
But I thought – How beautiful it is
that green hair
And wanted it for myself.
Thus began a preference for
the melancholy and exotic lover
that’s caused me trouble all my life.
