To be totally honest, I thought the poem was a Justin-Bieber fan-poem at first! LOL
I think it's a good portrayal of adolescence. To me, at least, the poem reaches its peak with the last two stanzas.
In my interpretation, it's a story about a young girl/boy in love with an older girl/boy (although I think that it's an older girl because of your use of Aphrodite). The older girl assumes the innocence, the adolescence, the immaturity of the younger person but... well, age can't really be measured by time since time is a relative thing. The last line clinches the story: the younger girl/boy is more mature than people think s/he is but it's just better to hide that. The world prefers thinking they're smarter, after all.
I loved you style of writing and the artistry of your punctuation. It's pretty, it's sweet, and for some reason it makes me think of cherry blossoms and I have absolutely no idea why.
What do you think of my interpretation?

Hey, I'm here to share some exciting news with you. This poem has been added to the poetry category over on A Drop of Romeo :)
Here's the Review:
"Helen Thinks: ‘Adolovescence’ by Plinky is a whimsical piece of poetry that leaves you sat at the end wondering ‘what was the writer trying to tell me?’ which is fantastic! The author themselves admit that they also do not know what they think of the particular piece so it is completely up to the readers. No answer is the right answer like they say back in school, right? One thing I can safely state is that Plinky’s writing throughout ‘Adolovescence’ flows beautifully. There’s a rhythmic pattern to it that starts from the first word to the very last word. With its quirky layout that takes advantage of brackets, italicising and spacing, ‘Adolovescence’ breaks all the rules but uses it to their power. It’s cute. It’s romantic. It’s poetry at its best. Seriously, check it out!"
Keep writing,
Helen xo

Oh my good golly gosh, I think I've completely fallen for your work. The first stanza is superb, and by the time it gets to the end, my heart has contracted into a pounding mass of sheer love.
The imagery is amazing. You really know how to work your word choice.

what a wonderful poem! very romantic. i loved your imagry here. i especially loved the first stanza "on a day when 'alone' sounds like 'in love'/ and beauty contradicts itself/ because everything is/ beautful" i don't know why, but that stanza particularly stood out to me. very nicely done, darling. i miss reading your work and i'm glad i can finally be back-if only for a little. very beautiful and i'm glad you keep writing! i've missed FP dearly! keep writing forever and always!
love always and forever,
~Davida ;P

*squeals* really, really, really loved this. Adored is a better word, really. It sounds like a secret romance of sorts where the two aren't really together yet but they seem to be and the boy is wild and untamed and the girl is sweet and unsure.Amazing.

The beginning is really awesome. The detail and flor of it is amazing. Towards the end things get a little jumbled but it is still understanble! Great job i really like this!

This is excellent. I agree with the reviewer who said it was mind-boggling. But I still like it. And the reference to Aphrodite is good; it gives the poem a wider scope. Very nicely written.

love that first line and very unexpected ending. i don't know about using past tense. i think present would be better, but whatever works :)
keep writing!

I love the Aphrodite imagery; it adds a lusty feeling to the piece. (More so than there already was.) This poem feel dirty, but beautifully so. I also sense a deep complexity. Lovely work.

oh wow ur a talented poet as well! this was amazing. i was blown away reading this. i loved the descriptions and u made the characters realistic, even that pesky boy. i liked the fact that it wasnt a cliche romance. "as Aphrodite tiptoedAcross the horizon" that would have to be my favorite line. highly creative and equally beautiful! kudos!

well, i rather liked it, and i know what you mean by pesky little boys with sweet smiles. they allways seem to creep into my words at the most random times. i liked the beginning stansta the best. b e a u t i f u l . have you ever heard of / or watched a movie called american beauty? if you haven't DO SO QUICK it's an amazing movie (even if it is american) and it gives you a whole new concept on beauty. but after reading this poem, i'm not sure you need one, but you can never have to many opintions. or however in the world you spell that.
