following on from the thread currently running about favourite books, what are your favourite poems?
here is one of mine;
Waiting
We have gathered together
The things you will need immediately
And set them on a table
By the bed you will be born in.
You have three drawers to your name
of clothes for the first months.
I go room to room.The house
Is waiting.Our hands are ready.
Even not yet knowing you
We love you;grateful
For how you have increased us;glad
We have it in us to put out new love.
David Constantine.
