This poem is champing at the bit. Should I just let it run?

*****


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.
