London Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

London

Rating: 3.5


It rang again just now,
you think it's her,
or just a fluke at 3 a.m.?
Maybe we should,
and quickly now
try that toll free one
again, but then
our line will be...
busy, and if she rings!
Go next door dear,
ask if we can borrow
their mobile.
And I will wait
right here, and pray.

This is the poem which seems effortless but is packed with heavy duty emotion and says so much in so few lines. Extremely well done, Herbert. Raynette
