Face Palm

I’m sure there are many occasions when you’ve felt like putting your face to your palm. Yes, I’m referring to awkward clashes or moments.

I experienced one recently, and the feeling isn’t pleasant. Awkward situations can leave one feeling silly at best, and out in the cold at worst. We avoid them as best we can, though they are sometimes out of our control.

So, we try to avoid doing the Face Palm. Acknowledging the awkwardness helps to break tension. Apologize if necessary, and move on gracefully by redirecting the conversation. 

Enjoy these free verses.

Palm

Held

To the side

Of the face

Feels strange

Palm

Wants
Someone to know

That skin feels

Clammy

Palm

Contrite

About 

Odd

Circumstance

Palm

Gently

Comes off

The side.
