THE WAITING GAME
by Alexandra Carr-Malcolm
I am waiting for my turn.
Playing the game,
forever stuck.
Do not pass GO,
do not collect Ā£200.
I am waiting to see the blue Angel,
to battle the red square,
stroll down Park Lane
and stay a whileā¦
at the Mayfair.
I am waiting for my Chance,
my, Get Out of Jail Free,
the bank error in my favour,
to win second place in ā anything,
my inheritance.
Instead,
I go back three spaces,
make general repairs to my green house,
pay my taxes ā thatās fine,
for Doctorās fee ā read prescription.
Iām done with waiting!
Do I pay a Ā£10 fine,
or take a Chance,
or do I wait ā
two die?

I posted on Silver Birch Press’s post, but it’s always good to have comments on your own blog, I think. Here were my words:
Wonderful poem, Alexandra. I love the rhythm, the cadence of your poemāit works so perfectly with your thoughts. Arenāt we all just waiting for those promised things that generally never do reach home. Beautifully captured.
Thank you Mary – that is so kind. It has really cheered me up and inspired me. I have been a bit lazy updating my blog due to a case of the winter blues š
Winter will do that. I’m in London for a few months (am from America) and finding the changeable weather does shift moves left and right.
Indeed it does! This winter seems to have been longer and more icey than usual! Hopefully spring is around the corner. I hope you enjoy your stay in London xxx
