Your move;
I wait
You take your time to
take your turn.
I wait.
This is the game we play:
Your move,
while passive, patient,
plotting, planning,
in my head
I grow bitter
for this is the game we play.
You take your time to
take your turn
I wait.
Your move;
I wait.

Cool, neatly composed and a complete poetic thought.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. :o)
DeleteSounds like a lot of waiting going on
ReplyDeleteSure it will finish before dawn?
Too much waiting here, I fear. lol
DeleteMary, this is very cool !
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool game of waiting...if you like it that way.
ReplyDeleteNot for me though ~

Agreed Heaven, not a lot of fun.
Deletewaiting is so hard for me though...but chess it is when kings and queens take the board...smiles.
ReplyDeleteTough not to grow bitter and lose patience over waiting on such "games." I like this Mary, well conceived!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny!
DeleteIf you play lightning chess, you each have to move within, like, ten seconds. That would solve that. 'Course, you're not really talking about chess...so that would be some real slam-bam-thank-you-ma'm! LOL
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Yea...I don't like the waiting game, but also don't think I want a 10 second timer either. rofl Thanks for the chuckle!
DeleteAh, the waiting game isn't much fun, is it?

Agreed Laurie, not at all.
DeleteI think Dan Savage would give some classic advice on this one!
ReplyDeleteHeheh
ReplyDeleteThe waiting game. Nicely described. I can feel its tension.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila.
DeleteOh yeah-- been there, hate that, but totally agree on the ten second timer. Great progression and sense of tension in this one, Mary.
ReplyDeleteYea, not fun for sure. Thanks Hedge, I always appreciate your input.
DeleteYeah, I have been there too and its no fun at all, just like going in circles until someone gets sick of it and gives up
ReplyDeleteBianca, that's exactly right!
