Waiting

sitting in a
gray stiff chair
watching the hands
on the clock  move
listening closely as the
seconds tick by
time slowly slipping
away never to return
waiting is such a waste

Jumble Mash said...

I love this, because I can totally relate. I am a very impatient person. So waiting makes me very angry.

Joanne said...

Sometimes I don't mind waiting....It gives me a chance to slow down and maybe get a chance to read a bit...like at the Doctors office. Great poem. Blessings, Joanne

Thisisme said...

I so agree about waiting and you are right, it is such a waste of time. I'm afraid that I am very impatient - must learn to chill a bit more!! LOL!
