Cloaked in beige, the park awaits new dusk-time and there again owlets will start to chime, through gentle rain, silence lays all around while leaves russet glide unto Autumn’s ground as maples hide their flesh in lean display where twigs imbed the gangly stems like hay to shred reams of petals, a torn bouquet. Yet a wooden bench glows , scenting deep night As love bestows an oath of fate’s delight; in September’s innate grace, one kiss, two hops enshrining wrapped embrace through clear dewdrops while Fall’s bench cradles woven dreams with finesse, a season of devotion, of stars that bless this fond appeal to grasp eternity into all cycle’s reels, evermore free. ................ Isaiah Zerbst’s Interlocking Rhyme Contest By nette onclaud 1/25/2015

The words are beauty in themselves and in context speak volumes on the mind set, hopes, admissions and views of the author. Well done. Emile #7

Goodness, this gives Autumn and its benches a dreamy feel, even with the enjambment! And the internal rhymes just give this brilliant poem a great pace, Nette.

You held me at Line 1 and I didn't stop being enthused by your images. This reminds me of a bench where my celebration of first love bloomed. A most excellent and highly romantic piece of poetry, Nette
