Down in Hartham Common

This is rather a simple poem. I have inserted a picture of the river in Hartham Common in Hertford. I was sitting on a bench by the river as I was writing it.

Alone on a benchStaring at the riverSun blazing downBirds happily chirping. I can hear some boys screamingSwimming in the riverA few folks passing byAnd some cyclists too. Sun hides behind the cloudsA lonely swan swimmingI wonder where it’s friends areA bit like the person on this bench!
