Throwback Friday, Patiently, I Am Waiting

A poem I wrote in April 2021, about waiting for the Publisher to do the edit corrections and have my “new” book (Tullawalla) printed and look the way I wanted it to be!



Patiently, I Am Waiting

Patience drifts around the clock
Patience floats in dry-dock
Patience hovers in transit
Patience belies my spirit

Patiently I walk
Patiently I talk
Patiently I listen
Patiently I have forgiven

Patience is the essence
Patience is my sentence
Patience is my burden
Patience is my warden

Patiently I wait
Patiently I update
Patiently I sleep
And alone I weep

Patiently I Compromise
Patiently I will arise
Patiently I reactivate
Patiently I will gravitate
Patience commands my time
Patience is my crime

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

    1. Thank you Robbie … dealing with publishing is very frustrating and certainly tests the boundaries of your patience… but I must say my new editor/publisher has done a great job for me over the past 3 years … 😊📘📖😍

  11. Wonderful photo, poem and song choice, Ivor! 🙂
    Waiting can be so difficult…we can all relate…but, being patient and calm sure helps. 🙂 When I need to be patient, I think of the tortoise…and I tell the hare to chill out! 😉 HA! 😀 🐢🐇
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
