Next by PoetPrentice Anxiously waiting With the patience of Job Year after year Every turn of the globe I wait to be next Feeling gladsome Next to be able to say The time has come So many before me So many to come Marching the same beat But to a different drum As long as it takes I’ll wait to be next Though at times it seems My efforts be vexed I’m somewhat perplexed But not hexed Just... Waiting to be next. Written March 10, 2017

Cool and witty poem, PoetPrentice. Packed w/a chock full of truth. Love the wordplay ... it has bounce and verve. Welcome to PSoup, my poetic friend. And thanks for stopping by my place and sitting a spell for a read. Love your style. Very hip poem. Love and more love to you and yours.

the first addition, my last to read! And another from me: welcome to the Soup! I'm pretty new myself, and am tickled pink to have found it too ;)

I love your wordplay, gladsome :) I love the speed of this little poem, it almost feels like part of a larger performance play on stage, if that doesn't sound to weird :) Welcome to PoetrySoup.
