Close Call

by Bryan Raff   Dec 22, 2006


Fingers rapidly moving,
Mothers calmly soothing,
Men in white coats all in panic
This place sure is frantic

Unfamiliar with my surrounding,
Whining babies seem to be compounding,
I haven't said much, but I will say this
This is the opposite of my bliss

Not sure why I'm here,
My mother says be patient dear,
I bore to tears and yawn with desperation
I want to get out of this hell-like situation

Finally we being to leave - out those white doors
My mom announces - False alarm! And sleeps with snores
My father drives home, with diligent attentiveness,
No more of that, let's go home he said with thoughtfulness.

    The wording and rhyme scheme were excellent, and again I liked your use of imagery muchly.
