*i remembered this yesterday, wrote it when i was in my late teens.* (which was ages ago, lol). Anyway, I must've known that one day I would need to laugh at my foresight.


It was a
Simple thing
Waiting a few
Lifetimes to
Be with him;

It's the
20 minutes he's
Late coming
Home from work
I can't stand.

I like the humour in it.

Such truth to the poem. Is this based on true love?

Such stinging truth of such a small reality. It is wonderfully poignant and surprising

Funny how I saw this not in here but in the much-discussed-of-late plagiarising forum while going through that to check if Prince's last post here has been taken as well. The title took me in for a read, and then I liked it and came back here to see whose it is. Good one Amuse, amusing and amazing.

(someone thought to comment on your poem there so I thought I should rather steer them here: http://forum.3rbdream.net/dream29/patience-revisited-128787/ )

Unfortunately, the comment you refer to (by Inez, the moderator) may have assumed that the poem was written by our local rat-plagiarist

I'm glad you liked it!
And yes...it is true, NOW. At the time - over
20 years ago -I was um addicted to Cosmopolitan mags and had the idea to send poetry in. This sort of poppped out. No idea where from, either - I didn't have a bf or anything to inspire it! I kind of liked it, too, though. :D And I have a new boyfriend - had the last for 17,18 years (give or take a few?) and this one for over half a year, and my patience is nowhere to be found! But he's VERY patient (though frequently late) and I love him dearly.

Hence the remembrance of this poem the other day, LOL!!! :D

*BTW, thx for the link to the Arabic thread. Blech. Not the nicest way to compliment us, is it? Imitation's one thing; theft is another...:(
