Patience is a virtue, the empress to us all
I yell to her, I seek her aid
But she ignores my call.
She jumps across a sage-lined fence
And into waters swell
My hope is that I catch her soon
And, then, my breath as well.

Daily Prompt: Elicit
Carolyn Dennis-Willingham
author perfectly flawed

that was pretty good. but u didnt use the word elicit. you may be caught up in the wordplay to much. try writing less creatively. stick to the basic prompt, and then develop your own poem.

Try writing less creatively? I don’t think anyone’s ever said that to me! 🙂 The narrator of the poem was trying to elicit a response. Sometimes, in life and in our writing, we must read between the lines.

Barvo. Patience is a tease, a temptress, a taunt and an ego wrecker. It is an ideal and a virtue that wea ll want to capture and master but reality ( patience’s kin) has a way of challenging our best resolve. Patience is a cheat and a disappointment.
