APRIL PAD CHALLENGE DAY EIGHTEEN

April Pad Day 18, 2015

 For today’s prompt, pick 2 vowels and write a poem using words that only contain one or both of those vowels. 

FAILURE
I went warily, fearing 
the coming torment
I knew there were more
horrible tortures
I stopped, panic
seized me
minutes  ticked, ticked
still I stayed, waiting 
fear held me,
imprisoned me
the sweat trickled soaking
the thin shirt, skin sticking
hair plastered
breathing heavily
heart racing
he's sitting,
sitting grinning,
greedily grinning
patting the seat
behind the wheel
drivers test  honey
hope dims
surely failure 
is waiting 
again, then
he will grin 
his slick grin
tell me cheerfully
next time honey
