I got bored, and my boyfriend was supposed to call me a couple hours ago, so I just sat down and wrote this. I don't think I like the last stanza... maybe I figure out a better way to write it... Review?
“Waiting”
He said he’d call
when he went on break,
After noon, so I’d be
awake.
It’s after two now;
I’m still waiting.
I read poetry while I
waited
And left critiques for
every one,
As bad as an English
teacher.
Your grammar’s wrong;
use a period here.
The wording is awkward;
Make it pretty, but I
can’t say how.
It’s your poem, not
mine.
I read the most recent,
Because then I don’t
have to know what I’m looking for:
No fantasy, romance,
mystery, or war.
I read whatever someone
just finished,
Hot off the press and
riddled with errors.
I’m still waiting.
When he calls he won’t
say much:
“Hey, sweetheart,
I love you.
But I have to get back
to work now.”
If he calls.
He said he’d call
when he went on break,
After noon because I
sleep late.
Maybe he went early and
didn’t call,
To avoid waking me.
He said he’d call,
and I wish he would.
I hate waiting; I hate
wondering.
But I am.
