Parks Poems - Poems about Parks

Only a few make a pact with the wind Only a few know the joy there within Free of the shadow that follows and stalks Escaping tomorrow in moments recaught Horizons lie waiting as pilgrims embark Voices like magnets pull light from the dark Only a few hear the music on high Through handlebar portals — embraced by the sky (Dreamsleep: May, 2025) ...

Drawing up its seating Of relaxation By what tree-blown, o'erflown Of pleasure cloud, bird Do these cities, coarse-heard Graciousness take on. How more so, park-guided Down whose paths are, nights Albeit eve's chill lit Old-style lamped! Warmer! For its theatre's farther, Cafe's, pub's strewed lights. Melbourne...
