Notes About The Poem

lantern, sparrow, shiver, fog Use these 4 words in a poem

Waiting For You

Waiting For You

in the sputtering lantern light
I stand waiting for you
I button my coat as the dense gray fog
rolls in off the ocean
a sparrow, shivering in the chill air
sits on the sidewalk
perhaps it is nearing its end
only time will tell
I may still be here to see
It.
