Poetry Prompt Wednesday #11 – Gathering

gathe

Today’s prompt write a “gathering” poem.

It was a gathering of the minds

Of the tall and the short

The black white and brindle.

We gathered as one

Shoulder to shoulder

Arm in arm.

What asked one are you here for

I looked a little puzzled

Why for you of course.

Oh she said and moved on

Stopped and looked back over a shoulder

Smiled as if she knew.

In the midst of so many

I lost her for some time

I wondered where she’d gone.

With resolutions made

Farewells were uttered

We headed for the door.

Against the doorjamb she leaned

A cheeky look, a twinkle in her eye

She took my hand, led me away.

I wonder now about that gathering

How we amongst so many

Found each other.

    Beautiful, Michael… I love the chance meeting of two who are apparently meant to be 🙂

    I used to flinch at the idea of fate, but have since discovered it has its merits. Therefore, I will give fate a two-thumbs-up on this one 🙂

    What is meant to be, is meant to be. Glad you found her at the door!
