The bench looks reserved,
it's marked, saving the space.
I look all around and see no other face.
I'm tired and weary. I just want to sit.
But worried that someone will approach and tell me to "Git!"
Forget it, I think, I make my face stone,
If anyone comes, I'll say "Leaf me alone."
A smile comes over me as I fall to the bench, my bench. And I am not bothered.
Beautiful image... love the grain of stone with the softness of petals, a gentleness in the harsh realities... sorry do get carried away... some images speak :-)
superb poem ...and a great image to go with it ...!! Curious like Lisa if you wrote it ... it wont surprise me though ... you have a way with words (and images :-)) @pflaume
Yes, I did write them. I thought that they rather made the photo. It was an alright image, but with the words much better. I love Shel Silverstein poetry...it's funny kids poetry. His words are always so fun and witty and I was emulating him a bit. Thank you kindly!
The little petally looking things on the bench are very delicate fall leaves. And thank you all so very much for taking the time to look and comment. Also thanks for liking my silly poem:). Happy weekend!!
