First Time Jitters
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 to undress As they both feel the stress Of the actions to...

Oh goodness there’s no coffee; Nothing but an empty pantry; Bitter with no sweet sleeping on my feet, my cup’s got jitters going crazy....

Turkey Jitters
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?” 17/11/22 A Fun Holiday Limerick competition Tania Kitchin Syllable counter: howmanysyllables.com...

Premium Member It Gives Me the Jitters
You would need giant shears To cut a rug, And why should anyone need to do it? In their 20s and 30s, they jitterbugged If you had the energy to pursue it The jitterbug was a lively dance That was all the rage, They danced frantically Both entirely engaged In dancing as if there was nothing to it. All seemed to dance on one spot, Not...

Premium Member Christmas Week Jitters
"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 shopping done? I have more fudge to make. The leaves, the howling...

Pre-Election Jitters
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 toll. So I watch the news and wonder What the hell is...

A seed has been planted in the minds of man, Where comfort's blanket is taken, & no longer the plan. Confidence, now shaken, seems fragile to the core. Lengthy marathons are but a memory, not like before. Schedules & venues, blown to bubbles now, how can it be? While performing in solitude, less the crowd & family. While short-lived, there's a...

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 for his call, from overseas. When I can not think...

“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 on a quest, To find Words that were passionate, daring yet gentle, And...

First Day Jitters
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 won't sleep well tonight. The training team you put...

Premium Member Waiting Room Jitters
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, wearing deep plum and teal with neon purple latex gloves;...
