Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Two friends upon the bench, survey the scene,
an autumn field strewn with the leaves of summer,
bronze to titian now, forgotten their foliage green.
One man complains to the other, “Oh, that’s a bummer.
Just two rakes to sweep all this? It can’t be done.
You need a ride-on or, at the very least, a blower.”
The other shrugs his orange-clad shoulders,
“It’s all I have - and I said it wouldn’t be much fun.”
