Richard Lamoureux Poet Fibonacci

Waiting For Wisdom

I 
Wait
Hoping
To hear news
That wisdom will come
I have prepared for her a room 
The table has been set with the finest cutlery
The plates have been set for the politicians, sadly not a single one has arrived!

She
Comes
Holding
Out her hand
Within it a gift
A pearl of tremendous worth
She says "If this gift is cherished it will multiply!"


First time trying this form.

Jan Allison January 31, 2015 at 7:43 PM A pearl of a poem Richard - maybe if you offer the politicians some pearls they will turn up next time lol - a 7 from me:-) Hugs Jan Richard Lamoureux February 1, 2015 at 7:48 AM Hey Jan, I think they are to busy eating at the public trough to be concerned with pearls. Thanks for the 7 but mostly for the Hug.
