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.
