Nette Onclaud Poet Rictameter

Notes About The Poem

 

 

                            

Benches

Benches
nestling the arms
of youngsters and old men ,
where leaves change across four seasons. 
How treasured moments or goodbyes are etched 
upon  wooden boards keeping tales --
fragile as park’s secrets
to rest on aged
Benches
