is what you see but do you know what it took

on a see-saw bench designed
for others to come
to pivot at the fulcrum—
balancing each other’s views

Station Bench

Everyone is a child's child.

Everyone is grown some
little, some hardly at all.

Everyone is one
until they are none,
no more.

On blue bench beneath
A clear day kind of blue sky.
Together we turned
To have a new perspective,
Instead saw our initials.

On the Bench

On the bench he cries
The crowds roar did mesmerize
Eyes strayed from his prize

he sits on the bench

      eager pigeons surround him

a bag of breadcrumbs

       is the offering he brings

loneliness is forgotten

having become merely a memory
our bench sat there cold and bare
once came the winter of our lives

Premium Member On a Park Bench

I sat on a park bench one day
It didn’t have much to say
Just a lone sign
I should’ve aligned
It said wet paint to my dismay

Not saying this man was a saint
When benches let’s just say he’d taint
Imagine instead
What went through his head
When signs clearly said to wet paint

I set up acting and 
singing work for the 
wooden bench in 
the rock garden.
I’m his biggest 
fan. I get 100% of 
his earnings.

The Bench

A man once sat at a park bench

When he smelled a peculiar stench
   
   Then right out of the sky
  
    Fell a whopping bird pie

The man's wore a hat ever since

Our park bench patiently awaits
a fresh november breeze delights
autumn leaves ablaze in the setting sun

Premium Member I Want an Owl Bench Today

Find me a wood carver said the queen.
I want an owl bench with a walnut sheen.
Do not let him use wood that is old or green.
I want an owl bench today, said the greedy queen.

Cheery blooms near  
Bench feels like home  
Your kiss is warm  
We smile at photographs and spring that never leaves

Old Gnarled Bench - Choka Contest

a large old gnarled bench
by a much older gnarled tree
where the old men sit to dream
of happy boyhoods
love was foremost in their  minds
now keeping awake is hard

Premium Member Bench Stench

The Vicar sniffed searching for the culprit
As it rose it overtook the pulpit
Stained glass windows wept
As the brimstone crept
The choir hummed so as not to gulp it

squirrels quarrelling
            a large scurry  going nuts 
              shells land everywhere

Premium Member Warm frost-kissed Park Bench

Empty park bench waits—
still warm from previous sat's.
Its slats welcome
visitors to air their spats,
dip their hats,
wag their tales,
beg for pats,
and relish the clear fresh park air.
