A Spring Day

A walk in the park
Sunny skies
Lovers hand in hand
Strolling along the promenade
Smelling the sweet scent of red roses all around
As I sit here all alone
On a park bench
Beside the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on
If only I was not so shy
I would have told her so

This is where creativity, which most poets possess, comes in handy. You could talk about the weather, nearby scenery, even mention the color of her hair as compared to anything of beauty. Next time that happens you will find an opening I am sure. I enjoyed your poem which we can all relate to.

Thanks Cherl and yes you can print from here, or copy and paste. Sometimes I just find it more relaxing to read a poem on paper, not at the computer!

No need to be shy...worst case scenario is you would be sitting back on the bench alone...Tim
