Waiting For It (Haiku)

What while awaiting
An important appointment
Whittle while you wait

Otherwise engaged
The time passes too quickly
Momentum is built

Not engaged at all
The time passes too slowly
Inertia is built

Prepared and ready
One does mental gymnastics
Moving on smartly

Stepping to the plate
Hit or miss he swings the bat
Connects one in three

Percentage improves
Spending more time at practice
Building confidence

Confidence is king
At the plate or on stage
Built by doing it
