    The Whisper of “Maybe”

    By: Amanda L. Pittman

    Time and time again I sit by a window,
    I keep calling out to my brother, "You are such a bimbo!"
    Time to think… all the time I need.
    Why does no one take my words to heed?
    My sister needs me so I can't move out.
    My mother tells me, "This is no time to pout!”
    “Suck in your lip and dry your eyes.”
    I try to do so but still she cries,
    Out loud like a big blubbering baby.
    Then I ask her a question and she answers, “Maybe, Maybe.”

    would have loved to see you truly delve into this one... seems to be a lot more there then portrayed... good job none the less... I had similar situations growing up when I was a kid...

    I'm laughing, but I feel your frustration...

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
