 Book of poems written for the second and third years of the Promptly Poetry Challenge. |
 Poems written for Promptly Poetry Years Two and Three. Year three is four poems short of being complete but, having reached 100, I have run out of room in this book for the last few of 2023. This overflow will be consigned to the previous collection of Promptly poems, named Promptly Poetry. |
| Waiting for Godot (apologies to Samuel Beckett) Good things come to those who wait and patience is a virtue, reward is not devalued late, forbearance will not hurt you. Our ancestors believed in these, their outlook was not surly; this day may be the one to seize, the night before, too early. Yet now desire is instant sated, we fret and gripe when thwarted, with fury greet whene’er belated, and so our time’s distorted. Line count: 12 Rhymed abab For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 48 June 5 2023 Prompt: Waiting. Note: A cautionary ditty that might have sprung (but didn’t) from the mind of Mrs DoAsYouWouldBeDoneBy of the forgotten book The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley. |
