Poem
I have had some embarrassing moments in my life for sure, Well, there was the time in Grade One when I peed my pants; At a dance once, three girls wore the same dress as me, And one day wearing high heels I tripped on the bus. But I think the most embarrassing moment came not long ago, I fancied myself a dancer so I joined a local jazz group; Not some one evening a week deal but the real thing, a school, We rehearsed three times a week and at home. Of course, to be a dancer one must look the part of a dancer, So I invested in shoes and outfits and all the sparkle; We were rehearsing for a Christmas recital in a theater, And I knew all my steps, they were etched in my mind. The night of the recital I was so nervous, well we all were, We were on stage and my family and friends had come; The music started and I forgot every single step, I froze, When a part for spinning came, I spun myself away. I hung up my jazz shoes after that and never went back, Embarrassing stuff happens in life and no one ever dies; But it can still dwell within and hurt your confidence and pride, Oh as a little girl, I put my hair clip in a electric outlet, once . . . _________________ September 21, 2015 Poetry/Narrative/Embarrassing Moment Copyright Protected, ID 15-711-140-0 All Rights Reserved.
