Anticipation

For Sam and Emma
(1:58 am)
It’s always the same nightmare;
a swarm of white envelopes
flapping in my face like angry doves!
Their pale, papery mouths
open to reveal the verdict –
it slithers out like a blackened tongue …
Grades! Grades!
The envelopes shriek at the irony
that a poet should be afraid of letters.
Still they dribble out
a spindly, inked alphabet –
and the elusive ‘A’s stay hidden within!
But what do these harbingers herald;
good news or bad?
Now – no longer a nightmare, but reality;
I’m warming an envelope in my hands…

Good luck. xxx My eldest is
Divorced Mum of 3 who has always loved to write. Haven't done so for a while, I somehow lost the knack. Loving writing again - except for the undone washing, the messy house, the kids wanting feeding..........
