GODS WAITING ROOM

Mr Black, please get down from that chair,
You’ll break your legs,
Mr Black replied, it would be worthwhile love
Just to see your sexy pegs,
As you pass by my room and go up
The stairs,
We all gather to peep at your wares!
Matron Bee walked down the
Hall,...

Some waiting rooms are large
   Some are very small
   It could be anywherei
    In any building
     
      People bring books to read
      Doing this...

Waiting Room At the Hospital
Pantheon of obtuse glorifications
Hallways confetti bile stymied soldiers smile
'Incomiiiiiiiiing!!!!'
Waves and waves of the nation's slaves
Wave your flag
The few 
The proud
The crippled and the dead...

Premium Member Surgery Waiting Room Clocks
Surgery waiting room clocks move very slowly.

Pages in the books people brought with them are read over and over again without the reader ever knowing what it is they read.  Magazines are picked up and put down again without being opened.  Windows are...

God's Waiting Room
Herein the empty vessels 
cavort, frenzied motion capture, 
compass cracked, fly blown 
dervishes robbed of direction. 

Mumbling lips aflutter 
with poetry deranged; 
dry dock for the ancients, 
amnesiac retrograde. 

Inconsolable and incurable, 
imaginary tasks, furniture removal, 
trailing human waste 
they are the cause of. 

Beneath...

The Waiting Room
I wonder why...
I must sit still and wait
for the Doctor to come in
when I got here so late.

If I'd been on time,
would I have see him at once,
Or would he have just gone out to lunch?

Early or late- on time or slow,
It really doesn't matter...

Premium Member The Hospital Waiting Room
In the hospital waiting room
you like to be in good time
there you are feel little nervous
up tightness within out of rhyme

No matter serious or minor
your ailment in pain or not
you’re never sure how it’ll go
makes your mind always in doubt

When your time comes to see...

The Waiting Room
The Waiting Room

The April weather shifted high to low,
Exposing those early clout casters
To the concluding bite of winter;
Footsteps full of foreboding
Trudge their last legs up the inclined driveway
To the Doctor’s old house.
A hotchpotch of chairs and wooden benches
Cling to the borders of the waiting room
A...

Premium Member Doctor's Waiting Room
I arrived early for the appointment I had made many months ago,
And began the interminable wait to consult with the medico!
When I checked in, it was already half-past noon.
Nursey said, "Take a seat and we'll be with you soon!"

The room was filled with people in...

The Doctors Waiting Room
I am in the Doctors Waiting Room
Waiting for my name to appear on the screen
I’ve been here for twenty minutes
Oh how much longer before I am seen

It’s embarrassing enough for me
Without the whole waiting room learning
That every time I use the loo
My pee has started...

The Waiting Room
These chairs are uncomfortable
probably designed for that one purpose.

Those around me make no attempt
to acknowledge my existence
as if I am the product of their illness.

These chairs are uncomfortable
I wonder if they feel the same.

The wait is long
two hours past
my appointment time.

I would be angry
except all...

Have an appointment
   Waiting, waiting, long
    Too many waiting
     To see the doctor
      All waiting their turns
     
      One child very young

Waiting Room-A Last Line Prompt
I walked in and was hit by the familiar smell of fear and disinfectant 
then wrapped my sweater tighter from the cold and discomfort. 
I glanced fleetingly into desperate, tearful eyes
bruised egos, painful cries and an accumulated knowledge of urgency. 
The florescent lighting was a...

In our great little retirement community
They're dropping like flies around me
Need to break free, must get out this place
It's Heaven's Waiting Room you see

Don't matter if you're healthy as all get out
The grim reaper knows where you live
He's as anxious as hell to whisk you...
