Poem for today: 'Waiting for You'


Here's a poem taken from my book Flight of a Bee, originally published in 1978 and reprinted again last year. Hope you like it. If you are really into poetry like me, then why not email me one of your poems that you would like to see featured on my blog under the header Guest Poet for Today.

Waiting for You

I stand
as agreed
Beneath
the friendly clock
on Platform Two.
Waiting,
dreaming,
waiting for you;
the soft ticking
of the clock
reminding me
at seven
you arrive.
At eight o’clock
I stand
Cursing
that sullen sound,
Questioning
where you went —
till when—
with whom.
