Central Park Boat Pond 2024

October 7th 19 Autumn settles on the boat pond Central Park trees Green to Orange to Yellow On the pond To radio control sloops race through fallen leafs__ An imitation America cup Both sailing douth Driven on a crisp northwesterly___ Central Park Not the East Village Rosy red cheek children Race around the pond At Arm's Reach From four nannies Three young mothers I remember my youth Change of seasons Summer to autumn I remember the Wind Through the trees Of the Blue Hills Like then All the colors So special The blue of the sky The white of the clouds Silver and gray too And the trees___ Working the color spectrum From Green yellow to red Under The strong sunlight Hearing the children's laughter Remember mine And my mother's laughter So long ago in our backyard In the Blue Hills. Laughter Same as Central Park Forever young___
