In Creative writing, there has been yet another amazing prompt given to us. This one was entitled, "What are you waiting for?" It went like this:
Today, we'll use Ferlinghetti as our inspiration. He wrote a poem called "I am waiting". Respond to that same title with your own voice; tell me what you're waiting for...
"I am waiting for my case to come up
and I am waiting
for a rebirth of wonder
and I am waiting for someone
to really discover America
and wail
and I am waiting..."
~Ferlinghetti~
My version is this:
I am waiting...
I am waiting for love.
The love you hear of in story books.
The love of your best friend.
The love of a puppy.
The love that each person,
at all times, everywhere,
should have for one another.
I am waiting,
for love...
Now instead of commenting on how wonderful (or terrible) mine is, I want to hear what you are waiting for. It doesn't need to be in poetry form, but if you are feeling daring, then I would love to hear it as a poem!!!!!! Hope that I hear from everyone that I know who is on blogger! Everyone is waiting for something, but not everyone is willing to share it with others. I hope you all are willing to share!

Lizzie, I'm going to be leaving for work soon and don't have time to compose an adequate response to your challenge! I will be thinking about it at work and will write you late this evening. I love this kind of thing!! Alyssa
I'm waiting for a seed to a sprout........and am waiting for a beetle crossing the sidewalk bent on a journey only he knows...and I am waiting for nature to stop delighting me. My wait should last forever . . . . Alyssa
