Once Upon a Time On a Bench

(16/03/2013)

I’ve tangled my pointer with my hair 
While looking up to gaze on the smiling sun
Over hundred times,
On a bench, 
Waiting for your presence

I’ve become boredom conqueror 
And unearthed those buried stones under 
After I’ve had enough of my android,
On a bench, 
You’re still not here

I’ve sent the sun home
And kissed the clouds goodbye
I’ve lost my spirit 
And sighed out my stupidity,
Off that bench,
You’re a disappointment

Andrea Dietrich March 18, 2013 at 2:41 PM your bench is the symbol of disappointment. Mine was the symbol of lost love. It's really fun to see all these poems and how the different poets represent their themes. I enjoyed reading yours.

Timothy Hicks March 17, 2013 at 10:41 AM Your mind really does flow in unexpected ways when you write. And a beautiful day feels less so when others bring you down... hope all is well on your side of the screen, and best of luck on the competition!
