Premium Member No way !

Little tomboy almost a teenager.
Ultra self-conscious to the bitter end.
Refuses to wear bathing suit.
She's simply not coming out.

Bandit behind branches
thick with leaves
the shy moon
conceals its light
A thief in the night...
Now perched high in the sky
It winks its eye

how does one handle
nude on the beach
extremities starfished
almost asleep
how does one handle
the talons, the beaks

behind the veil

your gaze hides a love
entrenched deep within your heart
peeking through the veil
a shy glance that holds my world
like dahlia blooms all seasons

Premium Member I Could Be Shy

I could be sick.  I could be shy.
I could be outstanding. I could be high.
I could be low. I could be depleted.
One thing though, I am not defeated.

Premium Member Shy to the bone

She headed for the corner.
Demure and graceful she sat ~ a wallflower.
Clueless of her feral charm.

I'm at the entrance of you,
and I don't know what to do.
I don't know where to begin
to try to find my way in
without making a disqualifying miscue.

There was a shy man from Des Moines
Experience-less but with coin
Dragged to a whore house
He said to her blouse
Watch out Ma’am, your bloomers are showing.

Shy Farter

A polite little chick from Belize
Always ran outside to fart with ease,
And when I asked her why
She bowed her head so shy,
Said she loves when it floats with the breeze.

I rather remain untethered, unruly, and untamed
In this world in which some expect me to always feel so ashamed.
I rather shun all of those whom made my heart feel so maimed.

My new boyfriend, when visit me, is very shy,
He looks at me, then looks at the nearest bed.
What does he want and why he visit.... Why?
I'm at a loss and nearly broke my head.

Premium Member Too Shy To Ask For a Date

George was too shy to ask Eve for a date
His frightful trembling just wouldn't abate
   So he made a recording
   Of an airliner boarding
Warning: "Last call for this Eve ~ Don't be late"
