Perfect View

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPhotograph, PoemTags:, , , , ,

A bench with a perfect view
Overlooks the water blue
Perchance some dolphins will swim by
Or a pod of pelicans on the fly 
A giant yacht with decks galore
A sailboat sailing off to explore
Rainbows arcing overhead
Perhaps some shooting stars instead
But I choose best not to go there
On  a different bench I sit where
I can view the bench with the waterfront
As sitting there’s sure to be disappointment

  11. I love the rhythm and your couplets in your reflective monologue, JJJ. The scene of dolphins, yachts and rainbows creates an enchanting backdrop to your poem. I enjoyed your understated clever conclusion choosing to focus on the bench from the perspective of distance. ‘Tis an inventive and lovely poem. 🐬
