In a rare poetic urge, I jotted this down a while ago while I was waiting for a train on a blustery autumn day, and thought I’d send it out into cyberspace…


a lonely bench on an autumn peninsula
overlooking cool rippling waters
watches a warm sunset painted across warms the horizon
but the bench remains chilled and solitary
contemplating visitors past
