Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

The Wait

Waiting room
Anticipation
White coats
Processing plant
Sharp needles
Good and bad

The ticking
Of the clock
Resounding
Through
And through

Calling names
One at a time
The long walk
Down the hall

M. L. Kiser February 21, 2019 at 1:47 AM That totally sums it all up; it indeed is a, "processing plant". Line Gauthier February 21, 2019 at 9:59 AM I'm glad this line didn't get buried. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, ML.

Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 12:22 AM The longest walk down the hall for me is the dentist, unless you count being led to the scales. Line Gauthier February 21, 2019 at 10:00 AM LOL I hope that those visits will always be the worst you have to experience, Caren. Should you be so lucky.

Bobby May February 20, 2019 at 8:28 PM What I enjoy is they tell you to be there early and then you wait twice as long, The best time to see a doctor is on the golf course! well written my friend Line Gauthier February 20, 2019 at 9:30 PM Excellent advice, Bobby.
