She was the beauty
that trapped an instant within a lifetime
That girl that catches your eye
and holds your attention for as long as she is in view
The girl you want to say hi to
but afraid to dare open your mouth
bringing out the shyness you had when you were a school boy
the type of flirting
with a fleeting glances and the passing of notes
drawing fantasies in your mind's eye
as your imagination runs rampant
playing scenarios of how smooth you'd be
as you introduced yourself
and then
you look away for a moment
and she has disappeared
the instant becomes a passing moment
and she becomes vivid imagine in your memory

A cameo appearance
A nice little scenarion of a missed moment that is clearly presented and which stirs one's mind recalling similar happenings. Maybe she was a fantasy while you were day dreaming. Sometimes these things happen so fast, one is never certain, but that vivid little picture lingers in the mind for quite a while.

This reminds me of the Latin expression; "carpe deim"...seize the day or pluck the day. I have had these moments, and wondered for days; what if I had just... I believe that infatuation was suppose to happen, and to act on it would have blown the entire scenario. Loved this. You write such descriptive poetry. I could see everything play itself out here. Great work darling!

A beautiful poem, however its way more than 30 words
I've had this experience, with a few boys. Innocent school crushes, made very sweet memories to look back on. Even more laughs. Beautiful wording, lovely story. Thank you for entering!
