The Fate

It was another lonely night Since she was waiting for a knight Her back was leaning on a board She was so idle and so bored But she was hopeful about her fate She did not want to lose her faith Just like a preying mouse in hole She wants to keep her hope in whole It was thirty minutes past eight It was six hours since she last ate She's out to buy tacos and chilli Because the evening was so chilly But when she was about to buy A handsome guy swiftly passed by She suddenly became so pale And she stumbled on a pail When she got up, she aimed her stare As he was walking down the stair And when she glued her stare on him The angels sang a lovely hymn October 21, 2022 Homophone Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Hat Bueckert
