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.

The Girl in the ParkBy Kenneth M. Kunz

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.

9/12

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.

10

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.
