Wait

The word wait is a weighty one.
Whichever way one wants to wish,
Wait is a whimsical whelp.

A wait for which one waits
works wonders without waning one's weight.
Why?  Waiting whisks waiter's whole weight.

Wait for...wait on...wait with...wait by...
"Wait a sec"!  What we want waits for no one.
One wonders, "Why"?  

Only one word wins......."WOW"

Thanks, Jan. I get the urge to use this form every so often, especially when thoughts are stuck somewhere in my noggin and I can't seem to get them together. I'll use this device to try to flow something and shake them loose. Once in a while, they even come out better than I expect. I appreciate your coments.

Dan: I couldn't wait to share my pleasure with you. This is a fast moving piece, far better than my silly rhymes. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us on the soup. Keep them coming. oldbuck

Thanks Old Buck! Your rhymes are not silly and have the effect that only a true poet can bring out. I appreciate your words.

:) I like this...Every time I pray for God to give me patience, he always sends me people or circumstances where they are intolerable, lol, :) but I realized over time it builds us up, and good things come with time...it's worth the wait

Thanks Cortney. This was "weighing" on me (lol) when I wrote it, but your comments have given me pause to rethink the reason. I appreciate it.
