VICTORIA PARK, TRURO poem

Victoria Park, Truro

Where stress is eased from worried frowns
and songbirds pluck a vibrant cord
amongst the never-ending spruce

friendly robins trek in noisy disarray
as happy sounds upon the eve exude,
soft shadows quietly arouse a
velvet trail

and boundless energy withdraws for rest
to hear, to love, to smooth
the sounds within.

A heart felt poem, Richard. I really enjoyed the read :-)

'to hear, to love, to smooth
the sounds within.'
These lines end the poem perfectly.

Thank you so much, Beeme. This park is in the center of Truro, and I felt a rhythm overtake my senses in this writing. Richard LP
