So hard to speak, having regrets.
stammering fool who begins to fret.
Nerves unend, heart starts pounding,
lost for words is quite astounding.
Here I stand a blabbering fool,
slowly dying inside, no longer cool.
Like Jello I stand here shaking,
words all wrong, nerves overtaking.
Why does she have this affect on me,
make me stutter, not speak clearly.
Grown man babbling, tongue tied,
everytime my mouth opens wide.
She never understands a word,
to her I must sound quite absurd.
What I say comes out all jumbled,
then she asks, why I mumbled?
She is annoyed, I better think fast,
or this date might be our last.
Actions speak louder it is said,
think I'll shut up, kiss her instead.

"She is annoyed, I better think fast,
or this date might be our last.
Actions speak louder it is said,
think I'll shut up, kiss her instead."

great job with the prompt, making it into a very realistic story about how adoration for someone can manifest itself into muttering jibberish and quickly finding a solution to convey love held within through a simple kiss.

this is a good write, wonderful rhyme and flow.
I've been like this where everything I wanted to say gets so mixed up, (almost every time I have to speak in front of others)
Best wishes to you in the contest. I think you have a gem here.

CUTE!!!!!
Oh the times I have done this!
Especially if the lady is very attractive and sends a smile my way.! I know, stupid huh!
But when one truly attracts you, you become this inept, bumbling person.'s

So true to life, the stammer and hummm, can't get it out without feeling the heat from the crimson face. This is a fun read with clear images, mind left in a dryer to tumble around. Great write, this so deserves trophy.
