April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Seventeen

 


Day 17 Prompt: Waiting

Form: Golden Shovel


“Calendar”


After John Mayer’s song “Waiting On the World to Change”


The days have already been numbered. There’s nothing we

can do to change the pages of calendars we keep

on refrigerators. Notes and events written with pen on

days we’ve yet lived. We feel happiness waiting

for us next week. It’s there in a box with a number, waiting

for time to bring us to that day. Until then read what’s on

today to give us direction. Hoping that the

events listed will fill our small world

with meaning. So busy planning the boxes to

see that calendars are history pages meant for change.
