Waiting
A burr in my sock
A stone in my shoe
Waiting
A panther paces a cage
Back and forth to nowhere, soon
Waiting
Restlessness gnaws at ankles
Like a puppy held back from a ball
Waiting
All dressed up, but nowhere to go
Devilish boy, I got no number to call
Waiting
In every face, peering
Looking for that recognition
Waiting
A dime a dozen they come
But dagnabit I look only for one
Beautiful poem… Very well penned, Noelle!
This stanza stands out!:
“Waiting
In every face, peering
Looking for that recognition”.
Eloquent, indeed… 🙂
All the best to you!, Aquileana 😀
I’ll have to look back and see where the inspiration came from. I think it was either an article or someone else’s blog talking about old love letters. Got me to thinking what would I write, in this moment, to the person I’ve never met. Was actually sort of fun to write it.
SSS = simply stunning and splendid… my very best & cheers, Mélanie
Love that, SSS… I’ll have to use that. Thank you so much for spending such generous time on my blog. Truly grateful.
again beautifully sounding
I’m really trying to work on the pacing of my writing. I don’t often write traditional poetry, but I like free pose pieces. Still you need to find that rhythm, as you note. Thanks for stopping in. Always a pleasure.
