WAITING, by WINIFRED BURKETT First Line: Waiting for you begins Last Line: And ... Waiting for you ends. Subject(s): Waiting | |||
Waiting for you begins Like softly muted violins. The tempo quickens ... Rises in intensity Until it crashes ... in a symphony Of waiting ... waiting ... waiting ... Then, suddenly, you're home From far across the foam. The music swiftly blends Into a lullaby of love And ... waiting for you ends. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALMOST AN ELEGY by JOSEPH BRODSKY THE AWAKENING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WAITING FOR SWEET BETTY by CLARENCE MAJOR GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH LA VIE EN ROSE by KENNETH REXROTH ON CARPACCIO'S PICTURE: THE DREAM OF ST.
