A Poetic Moment Pondering the Art of First Impressions


First encounters often relay to our brains an often overwhelming amount of information,
This information often decides if a subsequent possible encounter shall occur,
How our energetic signals in our bodies react can at times result in the not ideal,
Current polarities and situations can also make harmony concur…

Yet more often than not first impressions draw out our worst perspective views,
Needing us to make repairs to elements towards ourselves and often others in the encounter,
Especially if subsequent encounters may be inevitable for us both,
For a bad or even mildly rocky first encounter may leave one or both in a perspective doubter.

Whilst we all want to and try to make our first impressions great,
Being empathetic and understanding may take at times a lot to be our fate,
Trying to decipher to adequately understand enough about another is far from being easy,
And has probably been known to make more than just a few people rather queasy!

Thus once again when we find ourselves attempting to ‘put our best foot forward’,
Probably with an after sigh wondering why we even bothered,
Yet as we are guaranteed we’ll be making first impressions all of our life,
Surely there’s a way to find a balance in the dance to keep us in less strife.

For the art of first impressions ’tis not something one should study lightly,
It’s a self mastery that may one day save you from being ‘disassembled’ unsightly,
As a decent level up of basic etiquette in the area can take a lot of us to new levels,
Whereas a decorum element can save us headaches and from becoming dust on gossip shelves…
