Rest. Poem by Carl Roussell
Rest.
In a park downtown
There is that one tree,
Close to the sidewalk,
The one with the bench;
Looks comfortable.
Being downtown
It's busy, the
Hustle, bustle.
Find that one bench.
So when you're
Overwhelmed
By it all,
Sit on
That bench.
Rest.

Just don't sleep on it. Otherwise, you might find a raccoon licking your face.
Love the short poems you have been posting...Even though they are short and to the point...they carry an abundance of wisdom.
Glad you like the poem Aqua. I am having so much fun with the shorter forms of writing - they kind of remind me of pop songs where you say what you have to and get on with the next.
Lovely! A simple poem but highlights how important it is to enjoy the little things of life.
A place to sit a watch the world go by. Nicely written poem dear Carl.
