A vision just caughtmy eye.
A girl - sitting on a bench.
O dear!
Quite a ways away,
not so close by
Couldnt make
the image clear.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
Springtime,
many a year ago,
Was dashing
cross Central Park.
Rushing, things to do,
places to go.
Just the way it wasin ol New York.

Wanted much a closer view,so curiously attracted.
Found a bench
behind a leafy tree,
Somewhat ashamed,
the way I acted,
Shielding me from her,
not her from me.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
The figure! Ah!But in features lacked.
Like a Renoir in color,
form and kind,
Where the details,
indistinct, in fact,
Are better renderedby the viewers mind.

Not mineand certainly not yours.
Her thoughts
were hers alone,
Not to be shared
by crude voyeurs.
Im just a passer-by,
unknown.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
She just sat there,in easy repose
Lightly absorbed
in pleasant thought.
Something nice,
I suppose.
Something troubling,- probly not.

She, O grace,
turned toward me
and smiled.
Not atme,
by the bush obscured.
I was duly truly quite
beguiled.
Now a captive; trapped,
snared, allured.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
Her summer frockwas loosely draped.
In the dappled shade,
she just glowed.
Her form: lithe
and supplely shaped.
In the breeze,her hair just flowed.

The sparkle in her eyes
Make the gem-cut diamon
Only fit for cutting rock
to size.
Her flash is from Electra,
not from crystal carbon.

Her teeth shown more likepearls than pearls.
The oysters nacre
has met its match, or more,
These precious gems,
the gleaming teeth,
this girls,
Else only found in fairy tales
and epic lore.

Her body! O My!A dancers one.
Just like some sprite,
or nymph, or fairy.
Dance! Dance about.
Music or none,
Around, around,so light and airy.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
Her smile is morethan teeth and lips
The God-made sweetest
innocence
Were made
for taking honey sips
And singing only wordswith no indolence.

Im immobile, transfixed,
still undercover.
She rises.
Stands up full. O My!
To greet acquaintance,
friend, lover?
Surely someone else, not I.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
Her upper partwas demurely dressed
But the form was
so very clear, no maybe.
Do not compare
Dianas marble breasts
To her temples, sought byman and baby.

Off they went;his hand about her wrist.
Perhaps to some place
quite near.
More likely
to some romantic tryst.
My mindhas no business here.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
Alas! A nice young man
comes near.
Not a public kiss,
but face on face.
I feel I should not be here.
Their private moment,
though in a public place.

The End

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz
They both are gone,
maybe home.
My breath, my senses
come back to me.
Ill just sit a while
and write a poem
About how life
can lovely be.
