Notes About The Poem

Of Anticipation

Anticipation is like
the gnawing of a
hungry squirrel that
cracks open a nut
with the outcome of 
a delighted squirrel
or a rotten nut.

Your words definitely served! Be golden ... CayCay Sandra Haight August 3, 2019 at 3:51 PM Very unreal, CayCay! I am very pleased to share any wavelength with you! Thank you so much for your support and lovely comments- they are much appreciated. Hugs, Sandra
