Essential Poems Quotes

“Love Poem Sharing one umbrella We have to hold each other Round the waist to keep together. You ask me why I’m smiling — It’s because I’m thinking I want it to rain for ever. Vicki Feaver”

“Bloody Men Bloody men are like bloody buses— You wait for about a year— And as soon as one approaches your stop Two or three others appear. You look at them flashing their indicators, Offering you a ride. You’re trying to read the destinations, You haven’t much time to decide. If you make a mistake, there is no turning back. Jump off, and you’ll stand there and gaze While the cars and taxis and lorries go by And the minutes, the hours, the days. Wendy Cope”
