Best Jitters Poems

It's so quiet all around
There is not one single sound
In this room that we're both in
Scared to death how to begin
This new chapter as they grow
Finding a way they can show
How much they mean to each other
As they take it one step further
Slowly they start...

“MARRY ME” JITTERS
One thought prevails throughout David’s day
He racks his brain as to how he will say,
This important piece of news which repeats in
His mind like a rhyme,
He knows he must get it right, he is running,
Out of time!
David was a typical nerd, and was...

Patients in and out within the backdrop of muted rose walls, blue carpet, 
dark wood and purple plaid textiles. As faces changed, colors clashed. 
One young girl wore scarlet shoestrings and a gold skirt topped by a 
fuchsia tee. Nurses passed quickly back and forth,...

Your impatience fuels my nervousness
 when you breathe down my neck
 The confidence I thought I had
  is keeping me in check.
  Adrenaline starts seepin' in
  and trips the 'fight-or-flight'
  My heart beats so
  it looks as though
  I...

I don't feel very good today,
Can you see it in my eyes?
I'm never off the toilet,
No! it wasn't all the pies.

I have probably caught a bug,
You know, the type that's going around.
I must have caught it at the football,
God! I'm hot, I must cool down.

The...

"It's Christmas week and I'm not ready".
Is that what Mary said
When she found herself in Bethlehem,
No place to lay her head?

I ponder this as I lament
"The power was out for days.
I was snowbound the week before.
The rain just stays and stays.

How can I get my...

At Christmastide the family felt dread,
As they sat around a fantastic spread,
As dad carved the turkey,
It spoke up quite quirky,
“Do you fancy swopping places instead?”

Fidgit Christmas Jitters

I want to write about Christmas cookies, 
Angels that hang on the tree, 
and look at me…
then smile.

I want to write about Mistletoe, 
and first kisses,
red cheeks,
red noses, 
and roses. 

I want to share the feeling that I get, 
when I am waiting...

This country’s so divided
That I’m feeling really scared.
The rhetoric provided
Hints of violence prepared.

Until the last election
There were differences, of course,
But the state of disaffection
Didn’t need a show of force.

Now, however, things are spinning
Quickly out of our control
And the simple act of winning
May exact a heavy...

The rushing current of the year
And these unexpected sharp turns
Are like tidal waves
That are bringing me
A tale of thousand agonies
And pushing me towards
Shock and grief
And agonized silence......

And in the middle of all this
I don't know from where to start
To break this worry cycle
And find the...

Just when you think it's enough 
Incredible flutters fill your stomach;
Time to jump right into the deep end,
Taking your time will not bring peace;
Everything will be ok, use the energy;
Remember to remain calm;
Serenity tames the nervous....

Its like sugar
Tastes so sweet does life
At just the sight of you.

I shoulda
Paid my bills
But I'd rather call in ill to work and just lie next to you.

Sweet,
Knock me off my feet,
Give me jitters like em bugs have never seen,
I wanna be your queen.

Real,

Donald Trump chooses lies and schemes
For clouds are the stuff of daydreams
But he has no plan
To improve lifespan
As he loves to hear voters' screams!...
