Sesheta's 21 Days of Poetry Challenge II

First Date

Feet twitching
Stomach roiling
Waiting for a motor of a car

Trembling hands folded
Umoving clock scolded
So far, this course is sub-par

Someone’s knocking
Heart is stopping
He extends an invitation to the Bazaar

Does Dad say yes?
Will he pass the test?
The whole ritual is so bizarre

Oh, he’s the man,
He holds my hand
We walk through the fair near and far

He springs for dinner
And we peek at the winners
Then we sat outside under the stars

He bid me good night
At the stroke of midnight
Will he call? Send me sign from the heart.
