Pigmas 2024 1 January

[RiverNotch]

Ninth day of Pigmas. Taking into account some of the feedback in the opening thread, ye respondents may follow one of three tiers:
(1 - GOLD) Write a sonnet based on the day's prompt. The final goal is to produce something approximating a crown of sonnets!
(2 - FRANKINCENSE) Write a poem of a particular form based on the day's prompt. The final goal is to produce something approximating a crown of that form.
(3 - MYRRH) Write a poem on the day's prompt based on your choice of poem from the previous day's prompt, making sure it's the same form as the poem you're responding to.

Today's prompt, a Pigmas classic:
Write a poem involving circumcision.

The greatest lesson to learn is to wait
Marking an x on each calendar date
Each day waits for night, then dark waits for light
We wait and wait and slowly start to hate
Each slight inconvenience to do us wrong
A handful of people seem like a throng
We wait for each meal, for our scars to heal
For the comfort of somewhere we belong
Waiting for a burst of inspiration 
Being controlled by procrastination 
Agreements we make promises we break
For seeking instant gratification
The greatest lesson to learn is to wait
There's no way to know when now is too late
