Writing Prompt, 3/16/2022

Prompt: As she waited in the dark, she heard the deep groan of a plane flying low overhead. Her work was done and now all she could do was wait.

[you could use these prompts together or separately.]

 

She waited,

In the dark,

And heard the deep groan of a plane,

Flying low overhead.

She wondered who was onboard,

Where they were going,

Was it a crop duster on the way home,

Was it a privately owned propjet,

Was it a teaching plane,

Like the ones her nephew flew,

Before he earned his license,

And was old enough to 

Rent a plane? 

The groan faded,

She looked out the window.

Stars, a sliver of the moon,

But no trace of the plane,

Continuing on its journey,

While she waited,

In the dark,

For morning to come.

----------------------------

Her work was done and all she could do was 

Wait and see 

if the time and energy 

She invested over the years

Would be worth it.
