Electra
by TD Euwaite
Hey
wait for me
while I climb down from this tree
One shoe on, the other, I don’t see
Don’t
run so fast
that’s a lifetime you’ve just passed
Speed will get you there, if you last
Please
stop and breath
pull a flower from your sleeve
Give it to the one you know believes
Go
be the show
be the one who always glows
I will wait for you, walking slow
*****
This poem is champing at the bit. Should I just let it run?
What a wonderful pattern! Your best so far for me today.
Reply:Are you okay?
I ask or say
I can see who will win this race
look at the pace
Yeah please wait
so you can have a mate
don't you want any company
from some like me?
Don't go too fast
I can see you have already past
I will catch up to you
and it is true
We will see who will be a winner
and to have dinner.
I will get by
but until then it is good bye.
Reply:TD, this is simply amazing, and I know I say that so often, but only because it's true. I love the format, the rhyme scheme and the name. But I think you had a lazy fingers issue with the word "breathe." Don't worry, I understand, do it all the time myself. For some reason, the line "that's a lifetime you've just passed" really stands out to me. I love it. Thank you.
Reply:If she looks like the comic book Electra, you might want to move a little faster! But with your fertile imagination I am sure you can dream while waiting. Nicely said.
Reply:Reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoWF2YalY...
Drat, that link is supposed to go to "Feeling Groovy" Simon and Garfunkel.
