Image result for pictures of walking canes being used by two older people

The two walking canes lay close by Next to the window seat Waiting their turn to go outside And maybe a stranger meet Especially his walking cane Loved to mingle and touch Her walking cane lay close silent His cane with strangers gushed So different those two curved canes Their length designed for each The stain of hers, red And his a plain pale beech No longer walks upon soft sand Nor strolling in the park Mostly confined to sit down fun Church meetings singing like a lark Written: October 15, 2019 Sponsor: Emile Pinet Contest: Give Me Your Best New Poem

Laurie, We as poets can write about anything can't we. Much of everyday experience is topics for writing and there will always be someone who understands the topic. Thanks for your uplifting comments. Sara
