National Poetry Month: Good News 4 of 30
It's National Poetry Month. This month, I'll be on the lookout for JOY this year. In an effort to CHOOSE JOY, I'll share a poem each day this month about what I find.
Good News
The clock ticks.
The sun sets
And rises.
The clock ticks.
An occasional text.
A few updates.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
The clock ticks.
Worry.
Wonder.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
The clock ticks.
Finally.
News arrives.
A new story begins.
Welcome,
bundle of joy!

ReplyDeleteThe pacing of this poem, and the way you set up the line breaks for "Waiting/waiting/waiting" and the repetition of "the clock ticks" is absolutely perfect.
I can relate to every line of this!!!! Aren't we blessed to have a new story begin??!!!
