Recalling awkward moments.

 Growing Up

 

Their crimes were many. ~ Deborah Garrison

 

Seventh grade cotillion.

 

When the music began

the local boys dashed

across the hardwood floor

to grab our hand.

 

Not because we girls

were the pick of the ball,

just that we were not

those other

mysterious girls.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
