Anticipation
I stare at the screen,
waiting,
waiting for Max to post.
I feel like I've refreshed the page,
thousands of times,
an infinite amount of times.
I still stare, regardless,
Not knowing what else to do,
Until refreshing takes a bit more time,
and I know the time is ripe...
He Posted!
Hoorah!
Exactly at 10 o'clock!
It registers quick in my mind,
I try not to make haste,
I make my way to the comment section,
I have the link already set up,
ready to be first!
I get the URL in,
with the post title too,
I quietly think to myself,
I've done it, WooHoo!
I click the Publish button,
the anticipation is building,
but much to my dismay,
Someone already posted,
a minute before me today.
But how?! I say,
for I posted at ten
curses, I say to myself,
for my blogging first was foiled again.
Hehe, that's exactly what I felt when Willa beat me by 2 seconds today. Great job.
ReplyDeleteHehe, that's exactly what I felt when Willa beat me by 2 seconds today. Great job.
ReplyDeletehi! This happened again. Tonight. Me, you and Thea all posted at 10:00 pm. We are sorry. Nice slice!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha. Honestly, I think that the message saying "This blog hath been posted" travels to Willa's computers first. Nice slice. And-- on a similar note, most of the SOLs that have been done have been posted in pretty much the same order: Willa/Thea, The other one, Miles, Max, and me in the morning. Weird. But not really.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, a tangent. Nice slice!
This is great, Miles! I know how you feel...
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Miles! I know how you feel...
ReplyDeleteThis was really cool! Yeah, I know how you feel too
ReplyDeleteThis was great! Although I don't understand the joy of being "first" It's funny seeing this poem about it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I like how you described this feeling.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed you three obviously waiting to post first and I love your poem Miles! "Anticipation" is a perfect title and your raise the reader's anticipation up and down through the poem. Great Slice!
