Inspired by the 24-hour posting time of my latest short story.
********************************
The draft has been submitted
Now the wait has begun
But you are committed
Until everything is done
*
Five minutes seems like sixty.
An hour seems like five.
Time moves so slow you get misty.
Almost forgetting you're alive.
*
Even when a whole twenty-four goes by
You just need to remind yourself
Then you’ll just need to remember why
And be yourself
*
So don’t take things personally.
Everyone goes through it.
Just go along impersonally.
Quit chomping at the bit.
*
It’ll be accepted soon.
Then you can be happy.
Because it’ll be a great boon
To make you all sappy.

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.

Relatable AF. I’m always triggering whatever system they have in play with my naughty words.
This was a fun and positive poem! Wonderful work!
The last lines make me chuckle in a little smile 😊 I loved it
