Write a poem that uses a motif of mazes to highlight a theme.

A Love Named Jill

Mired in confusion

Yearning with unease

Inspired delusion

Learning the birds and bees


Emotional labyrinth travelled

Collection of twists and turns

Devotional efforts unraveled

Affections frequently spurned


Plenty of embarrassing moments

Too high a number to count

Twenty and college enrollment

Clueless still looking to mount


Another rejection, refusal to quit

Delayed gratification

Mother walked in while jerking it

Dismayed ejaculation


Stumbling, unsure what to do

Always tripping over his tongue

Grumbling, prepared to be through

Amazed he was the only one


Fulfilled he found love, held onto it tight

Slump over, he finally scored

Thrilled to be paired, to be over his plight

Humped a bright orange Halloween gourd
