Waiting for some forecast
rain today.
Waiting on the right words
of enlightenment to say.
Waiting for this and that,
great and simple expectations
to come into play.
In many ways, I am no different
from you and a multitude
of other folks all the same.
After months of waiting to
here from a publisher on some
poetry and photos I submitted,
I got a rejection notification
by email today.
Acceptance and rejection are a
part of life and living every day.
Millions of folks have their hopes
on winning the 900-million dollar
Power-ball Lottery at stake today.
I’m betting on the forecast 40%
chance of rain.
And as for my poetry today,
profound or inane, accepted
or rejected, won’t make a bit
of difference. Odds be damned.
100% chance, I’m going to write
it anyway.
