Expectance by ~FrostedWind:iconFrostedWind:





I waited all night,
I stared at the phone,
So sure you would call.

I glanced at the clock,
Through teared up eyes,
Emotions fully stirred.

I went to bed,
I cried into my pillow,
But awoke to a different view...
I couldn't blame you:
I don't have service yet.

Yeah, this is just a bit of frivilous stupidity... I thought it up in class the other day. No - this did not actually happen - but I don't have phone service yet (which is what inspired it).

It's very...prosaic. Maybe you could try making it into a haiku? Lemme see how that would work...

I waited all night
And I sat staring at the phone
So sure you would call.

I glanced at the clock
Blearily through my teared-up eyes
Emotions full stirred.

I went to bed and
I then cried into my pillow
But then I awoke

A different view:
I found that I couldn't blame you
I've no service yet.

Maybe a bit strained. That was more just me being bored than any sort of commentary on your writing, Frosted, so I hope you don't mind me amusing myself with that. This poem is short and sweet and funny. I think maybe putting the 'couldn't' in bold is a bit much, though. Don't want to hit the reader over the head with the irony.

Ah, but the couldn't could be worse, in the handwritten version I had it in all capitals :XD:

Thanks as always for your comments, and I never mind you amusing yourself with my work - you're welcome to it :)

I write in all caps all the time as well since I'm no good with regular print and horrible at cursive. Saves time.
