The Park Bench is for those who enjoy wit and conceit, passion and romanticism in poetry. The themes are an outcome of a mindscape cultured by patience, understanding and acceptance of the inevitability of change and the necessity to overcome and move on. In the poem 'I See a Woman', she exhorts the patriarchal society to redefine the idea of a woman. There is a tinge of nostalgia for times gone by, times that were dictated by man as well as by the universe. A few are written in memory of the author's father, who was the driving force behind her desire to become a writer. Having been both a student and then a teacher of the English language and literature at the college level, many classical English poets have had influence over her writing. After a decade of writing she believes that she has discovered her voice and reinvented her own style of expression.
