Five verses five days (4)

by Jem Croucher

4 of 5

I wrote a poem with five verses
one for every day
which I could publish on my blog

by Jem Croucher

Starting to appear now
mysterious boxes
their fragrance filling the room
A promise of something
that’s getting quite close
in mid-December quite soon

What’s in the box?
my immediate question
unanswered of course for a while
The mystery continues
as excitement grows

Exultation

by Sanchari

Hands trembling, eyes wide,

heart thumping; got tissues by the side.
