On the Yellow Bench

By metaphormachine

On the yellow bench

with a green pen

In my hand

tool terra

toyland.

 

Sneak a peek into

the valley behind me

no federal highway

& yet so much traffic.

 

En masse yield

summarise

the bank & the pin

the yellow & the green

sun & earth

strain spirit

in this vein spectre

this nous

stretching pneuma.

    I can picture you on this bench. The last two lines were my fav! This poem had a lovely feel to it. Tells us how much satisfaction you get from the process . X

    Yepp, my beloved yellow bench ... I love this place ... especially in spring and early summer ... For a while was this location my personal mind factory ... an inspirational example to wind down and as a new beginning ... to start in a new colourful lifetime ...
