Notes About The Poem

Sponsor: Nette Onclaud, MUSINGS ON A BENCH Poetry Contest, 2026 March 15

Bench of Sighs

Iron spine in shadowed quiet,
Waiting for the warmth to stay.
Resting in the frosty moonlight,
Watching snowbanks drift away.
Holds the ghosts of parted lovers,
Tracing lines on weathered wood.
Endless winter never smothers,
Where the tranquil wood has stood.

Valsa George March 17, 2026 at 6:40 AM Beautiful and painful thoughts of the bench that remembers stories of lovers and still waiting for the warmth of human touch. William Kelii Kekaula March 17, 2026 at 10:35 AM The topic of the day is to reminisce.

Paula Goldsmith March 16, 2026 at 2:45 PM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Bench of Sighs" write. "Good Luck" I did, "The Lonely Bench." Have a great day/week writing away............ William Kelii Kekaula March 16, 2026 at 4:13 PM I am well pleased with your extended courtesies.

Angela Terry March 15, 2026 at 4:34 PM Great use of soft language that tells stories about the history of this bench. Excellent work. William Kelii Kekaula March 15, 2026 at 6:27 PM An emission of a deep breath filled with meaning, thank you.
