Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – Wait
***
When you have to wait can get boring. However it is inevitable at some point you will have to wait. You wait in a line, or a special waiting room, or you wait on a special occasion, or some information.
If the wait gets long, I like to write. I like to write with pen and paper, so take some with me all the time, then when I get bored from waiting I can pull it out and begin to write about … well, anything. I write about the people that are there waiting, too. I write about the way the place looks, or about overheard conversations.
All this makes the waiting time go faster it seems to me.
Here’s a silly poem I wrote one day while waiting at the optometrist’s office waiting room for them to finally call me in.

Waiting
Waiting and writing
Writing about waiting
Watching the waiters
Watching the clock
Watching my watch
Waiting and watching
Watching the waiters is…weird
