The clock ticking loudly
Me, a book, a pen
Everything blank.
Why wouldn't she come!
I called out to her
My poemfish...
I sat there waiting
Tick tock, tick tock
Still waiting
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock !!
And then,
Something flashed by,
A faint "Hello"
It all became colorful.
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink.
My frustration slipped into oblivion.
We spoke and spoke
My body multi-tasked
The ears listened
And the hands wrote
The sights and adventures
Her journey translated into words.
Hours seemed like minutes
And minutes seemed like seconds.
Before we knew it
Our time was up.
She looked at me wistfully
And filled with regret!
It all became white and black again
But this time,
I looked down
And my page was full.
She came to me!
My poemfish.
