THE OLD LAWNMOWER
Folder:
THE SHY RETICENT POET
The old lawnmower
sat in the yard beside the shed
for several years.
It’s an old push mower
that became obsolete
but for nostalgic romance
the rust
and the squeaky wheels
do little
to detract the allure
A whiff of petrol in the air
and all I do
is sit on wooden steps
awaiting precise moments
and clear thoughts
The last rays of sunlight
& the fragrance of cut grass
merely highlight
its place in the landscape.

Fresh Cut Grass Obsession
We who used manual lawnmowers once upon a years and years ago, appreciate the rust and the vintage view of old faithful growing old grassfully. : ) Stella
