More Than Words Poem by Richard Provencher

More Than Words



Sidewalks are community minded
their cement fingers meandering from
house to cat-on-porch home
bringing people together
for a cup of tea, perhaps a welcome
wagon party -

new neighbours with whom
to chew the fat
shoot the breeze or
share good and bad news,
continued until tongues tire
or friendships cemented.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My poem is about the way sidewalks are encouraging links for neighbours. So many are a bit nervous on roadways, thus this reality poem is a reminder how we have no excuse with such a sidewalk to develop friendships. It was inspired by a new sidewalk in a corner of town seemingly forgotten by town officials.
