Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

Still Like Statues

Upon a bench a lady sits
She is there every day
With large bags of peanuts
In Victoria Park
The lady sits very still
She wants the squirrel
           to take-
The peanut from her hand
Waiting for the squirrel to
            come

A rabbit sits so very still
He is scared to move 
            froward
So he waits for the squirrel
             to move
The squirrel stays put-
            does not move
Likewise does the rabbit
The lady also stays still
Neither one of them moves
They just stay still like statues

Charles Messina June 10, 2019 at 9:17 AM Hello Darlene, I like this. Who will be the first to move? It reminds my of an old western..lol Nice write Charlie :) Darlene De Beaulieu June 10, 2019 at 12:07 PM Hello Charles, my guess would be the lady. Because she was the first one to be like a statue. The the rest will follow. Have a nice day my friend/ .

Carolyn Devonshire June 8, 2019 at 5:34 PM Your description of the lady, squirrel and rabbit all spring to life in your poem, Darlene. The lady probably doesn't mind waiting for the squirrel to come to her while she's outside enjoying nature. A very cute poem!! Best wishes, carolyn Darlene De Beaulieu June 9, 2019 at 10:14 AM hello Carolyn Devonshire,The lady doesn't mind, she enjoys to feed the squirrel, the squirrel enjoys the peanuts. If the squirrel et spooked he will sit like a statue thank you for the lovely comment. Have a nice day my friend.
