Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

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"

Gary Radice August 9, 2021 at 1:04 PM 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 Edward Ibeh August 9, 2021 at 1:57 PM Thanks very much, Gary:-) I remember those awkward yet fun times as well, not with others watching me, though! lol
