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

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/ .

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

You have done extremely well with this poem, Darlene. You managed to instill a 'fear' of disrupting this serene moment. Your pen gets better and better. ~ Regards // paul
