Reflections

Ferry on the river;
‘Copter in the sky.
Bicycles and scooters
(Some with bells!) all pass me by.

Joggers pound the pavement;
Walkers simply stroll.
Benches are deserted.
(Recent raindrops took a toll.)

Still, I’m out here sitting,
Checking out the scene,
Feeling not quite up or down
But somewhere in between.

As my trusty pencil
Jots each thought upon a line,
It helps record reflections
Found within this mind of mine.

A pleasing and believable picture is presented to us in this poem, Ilene; and, it is one that gives us insight into the able poet who wrote it. I enjoyed your poem.
