Written for: Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads – “Waiting for . . . ” (posted by Izy)
Write a poem about waiting, but don’t tell us what you are waiting for in the poem.
Evening wears on,
soon full night
will be upon us,
she thinks. Weariness
wrinkles her brow,
sallows her skin.
Somehow she knows
her wait is over.

I am just amazed at how you have created a full character in so few words. Just in how you describe her thoughts and emotions. So well done and thanks for posting!

Excellent the wait you did this in so few lines. I wonder what she is Waiting fir? Someone to die, to be born, to be told she had gotten the job? So many things to ponder.
