Park Bench Panhandle

Trees dance to the song of wind. Shaded in a disco of light and shadow, king of good will welcomes compassion with a smile and cardboard sign. Upon his wide wooden throne, he beckons at passers-by: For a bit of good will.

You have penned a portrait of a city street panhandle. I feel as I can view him and feel the breeze through the trees. Well done, and congratulations on this featured work. Carrie

A delightful image of the "disco-effect" of sun rushing through the movement of trees. Excellent poetry, Hai! Love, Carolyn
