Anticipation



WEDNESDAY POETRY PROMPTS

Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 649

Sam Adams
Got up early on a Sunday
Filled with anticipation

Today was the day
He would propose
To his dream girl

Whom he had met
Just days before
When she walked
Off a bus
Into his reality.

He first met his wife
In a dream in 1974
eight years before.

He saw the most beautiful woman
In the world
Talking to him
In a strange Asian Language.

He yelled out
“Who are you”
She faded away
As he fell to the ground
During a boring physics class.

For eight long years
She haunted his dreams
Coming to him weekly.

Then one day
He was teaching in Korea
When he had the last dream.

She told him
“don’t worry, we’ll meet soon”.

That night she walked off a bus
Out of his dreams
and into his life.

it was love at first sight
for both of them

as Koreans put it,

"이심촘심
isimchomsim
Ishimchomshim
sparks flew
from heart to heart".

The following Sunday
After doing a long hike
He proposed to her.

She said yes
Became his wife
Six weeks after
Entering his life.

Every Wednesday, Robert Lee Brewer shares a prompt and an example poem to get things started on the Poetic Asides blog. This week, write an anticipation poem.

this is based on my true love story. We have been together 41 years.
