An Obtuse Request Poem by C R Clark

An Obtuse Request

Rating: 5.0


It’s very true that in myself
The virtue of patience is sadly want
So, Lord, I ask you grant to me
The gift of patience and if you please
Make my wait time short

A poem paradoxal within the contents and multi meanings from its title. praying for patience and simultaneously showing eagerness for acceptance, makes this poem very interesting and blunt in it's literary meanings........10/10.
