Waiting For Wisdom

I Wait Hoping To hear news That wisdom will come I have prepared for her a room The table has been set with the finest cutlery The plates have been set for the politicians, sadly not a single one has arrived! She Comes Holding Out her hand Within it a gift A pearl of tremendous worth She says "If this gift is cherished it will multiply!" First time trying this form.

Your lines are so alive and real. Munching them in my mind is the blessing I am receiving this moment. This is such an excellent share and I really do not know what more to say. A 7 definitely

Outstanding first attempt! Your images of preparing for wisdom are amazing. The last line of the first stanza made me laugh out loud!

Hey Jan, I think they are to busy eating at the public trough to be concerned with pearls. Thanks for the 7 but mostly for the Hug.

Why Thankyou! I was reading someone else's poem listed under this form so I was curious. The fellow had not written using the form but I found the description of the form interesting and gave it a go. Hugs back to you Cassarah.

Richard if the politicians have some wisdom,We might have some peace..But.they seem to forget the worth of pearls and stucj their heads in raw meat. Clever you are and carry sacks.full of pearls to sell..Im sure : )
