it is not the content of what you write about that makes literature enticing; it is the emotion you place into it

It rains and it pours
Upon the bench
It does not complain
About the drench

The bench is silent
Yet very loud
It doesn’t ever move
But stands proud

It snows and blows
About the bench
It does not protest
For it’s a bench

At times there’s a man
Upon the bench
It does not object
He’s the only friend

The bench is a bench
Nothing more
But pieces of wood
And wise decor
