Benches Poems - Poems about Benches


Two Benches
Two benches. I never imagined this. Outside a blank, white room, with its blank, white walls. Inside, the clock unwinds; seconds drip steadily down the line, waiting for Nature to call Time. On a cold metallic bench I wait, suspended; Stop-motion faces speed by; nothing changes, but nothing is the same. Streaming in, glassy light is prismed through the pane; the sky bright and empty; seagulls scream silently;...

Benches
Benches Benches to sit Benches to gaze Benches to while Good days away Benches that sway Benches that swing Benches for playing Songs that we’ll sing Benches to feed Benches to eat Benches for resting Our tender feet Benches for writing Benches for reading Benches to dream on Ways of succeeding Benches with scenes Benches at sea Benches to witness High tides recede Benches for watching Benches for greetings Benches for having Those lunchtime...

Benches
Every bench around the pond is dedicated with a plaque screwed to the green wood, each one devoted to the folks who donated them. I can’t sit on them, rest my bones there. The winter water is pewter, the sky is goose grey, the benches the only green; they stand out in the monochrome light, resembling flags of an ongoing bereavement. After a short...

Benches
‘Benches’ Every park sits a bench every town has its wench what's that stench? Take a stroll along the beach everywhere, seems to be a leech who's to teach? Benches breed splinters long, cold winters take a seat and believe... Tomorrow is not guaranteed a bench will still be can you not see? Along came a storm and swept away the norm but, not my bench...

Benches nestling the arms of youngsters and old men , where leaves change across four seasons. How treasured moments or goodbyes are etched upon wooden boards keeping tales -- fragile as park’s secrets to rest on aged Benches SEPTEMBER 2018 STANDARD Contest of Brian Strand...

Benches By a Gravelled Road
I tread lightly on this gravelled road And on the horizon I see Lights, skylines to die for Tantalized by beauty false For distance rests between the door And me. And friends and brothers, enemies alike. Pass me by, Their journey bleak For their path is set, the common prime Their path is set - this gravelled street. And behind me walk...

Autumn rains and fall breezes In a park of empty benches and red leaves Somber moods and downcast skies Not a soul to ask at all the whys She saw him He saw her As both rushed from nowhere to there They glanced at each other but did not bother to stare So both benches remained lonely an empty As cold as the winter’s...

Inflation Inflammation Benches
Economic eradication and the clan of chaos is a detrimental dance in a mildly overlooked field. Cackling over tables at the decreasing fortunes of the unfortunate. Buttons of gold versus plastic imitation. Implementation of scorn. So cried a giant 80 kilo slug "a great economy is here for the garden". The gardeners were not amused...

Benches beckon those that shuffle softly through the ruins of decisions they have made. Sitting in the silence, in the fog of their regrets and grief, that never seems to fade. The sun is shining brightly on the benches in the park, glistening through their fallen tears. As they sit among the ashes, of the solitude and thoughts,...

They Sit At Benches
They sit at benches; Small legs swing above Green industrial tile. They sit at benches; Thin arms cross around Frail, frightened bodies. They sit at benches; Lips thinned upon Tightly clenched teeth. They sit at benches; Down-cast eyes inside Sunken, hollow faces. They sit at benches; Tiny fists clutch at The narrow rail. They sit at benches; Pale chins duck into Quivering throats. They do not look up As I enter the room, They do...

The Benches
the benches they sit empty as if no one sits here but ghosts of the past their faces i see there we share smiles and laughs and chatter about memories still haunt me the words that they had spout i see smoldering ashtrays smoke rising off the brim remnants of menthols and what had been many days pass on by each day the faces less clearly seen and beginning to die...
