Impasse

Painfully shy schoolboy and girl break long, awkward silence with small talk. The classmates flash sheepish smiles... with nervous giggles here and there. Both too timid to get to first base, to cross the threshold of "I like you" Bite Size Poem No.16 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier Date written: 08/02/2021

A really good write that brought back memories of my 11 year old self Edward. :) I remember those awkward feelings and knowing that others were watching and talking just added to the overall awkwardness of it all. :) Cheers - Gary
