Awakens an idea,
Alters a perception,
Breeds an awareness,
Changes a mind.
And inspires
Hope;
Fills a heart,
Promises a dream,
Seeks an answer,
Seeds a thought.
And grows to
Expectation;
Believes a chance,
Trusts a purpose,
Describes a need,
Builds an ambition.
And leads to
Anticipation.

Very clever little poem Sara, I like this a lot lot lot. You’ve taken me through many different thoughts and emotions, yet you’ve used so few words xx
I absolutely love this. Great poem. Lovely to read and think about. #ThePrompt
Enjoyed reading this, deceptively simple yet also profound. I love the spareness of it and the controlled use of language – something I find difficult as I’m rather verbose!
Lovely poem, Sara. I love how it all leads onto the next, it flows beautifully. X
I love the way this builds up. It does flow very naturally. You’ve very good with your poetry. I wish I felt more confident about writing it myself.
I would have to agree with Renee–this is a very clever poem. I like how it builds and literally makes the reader anticipate with the cadence and the perfectly fitting words that you use. It’s one of my favorite pieces by you so far. Thank you for sharing and for hosting another great edition of “The Prompt”
Oh I do love this poem – even the way it physically looks. Every word used has been clearly thought through and it ebbs and flows to a crescendo. It’s a beautiful poem, beautifully scripted

Oh this is just gorgeous. I love the format and the whole idea behind this.
That’s so simple yet so clever. How do you do it? Poetry doesn’t come naturally to me. To say so much in so few words is an art form. You have a real talent for it.
I love this. Such a beautiful way of describing the chain that goes from intuition leading to anticipation. I love the lines about hope fills the heart and promises a dream.
I love the way this builds, Sara. Anticipation in poetic form! Very sparing with words, yet beautifully expressed. I smiled at the end :) xx #ThePrompt
Now that says a lot without a lot of words; brilliant :) x
Really clever writing Sara and so much description in just a few words.
I love this – beautifully succinct and perfectly structured x
Great poem – I wish I was this creative!
Such a clever, thought provoking poem. An exciting read! x
Fabulous! And very clever because it builds anticipation all the way through. xx
Lovely Sara-very well crafted indeed xx
Love this! Very clever poem, flows beautifully x
