On a Park Bench

Snow falls the velvet gown
my hand imprints its deep pile
as if a memory
footprints of a fieldmouse slide and circle
a figure skaters choreography
the sun rises from above the cloud
as if a growing flower
in winter shine crystals glisten
are they glass beads or pearls?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hi Lesley, your title drew me in since I also recently posted a poem about a bench-- but wow your poem is just so vivid with imagery-- beautiful! and I really enjoyed the question you ask in your last line :) can be both I guess... nikko :)

Very fine pen picture drawn sitting on a park bench of the falling of the snow and the rise of the sun, Lesley
