The wait (Free verse) by aliena
I waited and waited Thinking, with each passing year The verse that would come forth Would be better. Not writing was good- It was just waiting. One fine day,I found That wisdom had wiped off poetry Peace and stillness overtaken joy.

Up the ladder: Evening
Down the ladder: Can Predictions Be Proven?

"The verse that would come forth"
seems a little clumsy - I think it's the "that would come" not sure about it. It mucked up the flow for me. Also, you could drop the 'that' from the second to last line. I liked the musings within this piece.

The voices in my head are crying 'image! image!' Perhaps play around with the sound of 'poetry' and make it sound like 'pottery' - something being wiped off clay. I'd like that.
