So, I decided to give the "100 Word Challenge" a go. I have one running on my other profile on a different site, but this one will probably be all, or mostly, poetry. This is the first, Introduction.

Summary: The beginning through the end, and all the words in between.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Nerves batter my brain

You're so enticing, my dear

You're bringing out my anxiety,

But it's not you I fear

/

Beginnings are what I fear

That first greeting always so hard to say

It dances on my tongue

And I'm worried I'll drive you away

/

But, how will I know

If I don't take the chance

All it takes is just one word

One invitation to dance

/

So I stumble in

And almost run into you

One word, and two syllables

Still unsure of what to do

/

A hand through your hair, a subtle wave

Your smile a sharp crescendo

Taking a breath, I softly exhale

And finally say hello
