A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

Take a Load off
A bench of stone, wood or wire
Can get you out of the dire
When feeling spent and tired
Take a load off and enjoy the fire
Orange (SL Week 30), Three
Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Orange
“An orange on the table, your dress on the rug, and you in my bed, sweet present of the present, cool of night, warmth of my life” Jacques Prevert
Orange, Three
Stop for a while
Take a seat on a bench
Have some food
For a thought
Drink some coffee
For going on
You need to stay strong
Orange is the colour
You had best to follow

“I took a back seat and did whatever it took for the team to win” James Harden
Take A Seat
Break the beat
And take a seat
Which one do you prefer?
You have been given three options this week
Are these something
To your liking
Or other types you seek?
The old wooden bench
Which has seen better times
The chair in the cafe
During a busy day
Or the comfy fluffy recliner
There is really no denying her
She is quite the tempting one

“Superman don’t need no seat belt” Muhammad Ali
Market Trip
Took a quick trip
To the market
Almost flipped
Near the target
Needed a sit
Before the bargain
Charging circuits
To get things started
With all my wit
And whole hearted
Ready for fighting
For the bargain
In the discount market

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte
Sitting in Cyprus, Part Two
A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin
Sitting in Cyprus, Part One

“Because it’s a seat”
Sitting in Cyprus, Part One
A stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening
