Tissue paper in neat folds ,
ornately tied with perfect bows
around a golden papered box;
excitement builds,
its promise mocks.
I wonder what’s inside that box,
my fingers twitch on ribboned locks;
I tease the corner,
ease the tape;
untie the knots,
unleash the cape
that’s binding what is hidden there;
anticipation and a share
of wonderment, excitement, chance;
to peel back, secretly to glance
and peek within the treasures glove;
then open what’s been wrapped in love.
I love this it made me excited to see what was in the box. i love your choice of words too π #prose4T

Oh, the anticipation builds wonderfully! I’m also in awe of the rhyming. I don’t generally rhyme, it always sounds contrived when I do. This is amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt x
