Juliet Ligon Poet Rhyme

Shyness

It reveals itself freely without rationale,
a natural inheritance, untraditional.
Shown to strangers, yet hidden from friends.
Revealed in dangers, concealed in amends.
The softer the approach, the easier it leaves,
but when given reproach, it's worn on the sleeves.
There is no fear to show this to most,
but it's withheld from those who are close.

Juliet Ligon October 30, 2019 at 11:07 PM Thanks all. This was something I wrote several years back before joining here and must have been too shy to post it. :)

Andrea Dietrich October 30, 2019 at 11:07 AM I like this way of describing that word, Juliet. Very nice.

Silent One October 23, 2019 at 2:41 PM I agree with Richard, a bit of shyness is enduring... but too much, i guess can be difficult..

Richard Lamoureux October 22, 2019 at 8:31 AM A bit of shyness can be very endearing. When it is shed it becomes a special gift.
