empty benches

Nicely done: I really enjoyed its simplicity…
Many thanks, I hope to have more posted soon.

A keen and quietly stated observation, as if not to disturb them. I am sharing this poem at word pond. Thank you, poet and tinywords.
Thanks, please feel free to share!

late summer day
shadows grow longer
pigeon cooling
my mail box
is empty
shorter days
longer shadows
As a horror story..
In the park
pigeons peck in front of
empty benches
amid buckles and shoes
the indigestible parts
: )
deserted park
a tired butterfly
settled on my shining shoes
tiny words admn thanks for your consideration
we still poles apart
pigeons in the above cornice
beak to beak
A very vivid image.
