Waiting Around...

Week 44

waiting for this poem
to write itself out here
words don't come easily
they hide from me and sneer

sit about and ponder
what could come of this page
nothing makes sense until
pointless musings grow sage

it gets longer, complex
thoughts compiled by pen
another prompt sated
good for now, once again

~ P

Beset with an unwanted link
Struck with the image of two men
Day after day watching him shrink
Holding out for I don't know when

Lingering like heat from thermoses
Ever faint I always find him
Cursed to cringe when he surfaces
An end to this seems ever slim

~ J
