Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 467

For today’s prompt, write an expectation poem. The expectation could be realistic or unrealistic. It could be expecting a check or payment, expecting a visitor or acknowledgment, or just expecting a nice word. I expect to see some unexpected takes on this prompts.

Here’s my attempt at an Expectation Poem:

“I Expect the World”

I expect the world,
but I’ll take your word

and create a dream
I can dream each night

hoping my hoping
turns out to be right.

I expect the world,
but I’ll take your hand

and hold the greatest
treasure in the land.
