I Sit and Wait

I sit and wait The words come prancing along Smirking and smiling Two of them are dancing a tango. One laughs Another jumps on my heart. I love this quiet time As I sit and wait and a poem begins writing herself.

“Another jumps on my heart” has to be the best line I’ve ever read about words and the writing of a poem…

This is such a lovely little verse, Caren. I love the way words "come prancing along Smirking and smiling." Sometimes my words come with their arms extended for a hug...and generally they are crying.

I laughed when I read your comment Hank.
