Poem: The Phone Call

Promises to call
day one passes
day two drags
day three?

Still no call.
Why put the anxious on hold?
Reaching out only to catch a dial tone.

Thinking of someone isn't enough.
Calling means so much more!

What does it take to make the blind see?
A perfect chance for romance may be lost.

If only the call had been made...
a later regret.

The ultimatum, choices
pick
dial
speak
or be disconnected.
