THE LONG WAIT

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I have waited long enough
In fact for too long
Far too long
The last birds have flown
And the flags are at half mast.

Life here is very tough
And nowhere
Nowhere do I hear a love song
Only the hapless age-old gong
If I knew my baby had grown
Would I still be an outcast?

Is it necessary reading the poem in
class i think having your own appreciation of the poem and expressing it in your comment box is sufficient.

OK. Perhaps we should just limit it to this forum because poetry is not really part of the school programme.

Only within this forum, interested participants who want to develop their knowledge of poetry and even publish poetry eventually, can do so. It`s possible.
