Washington Park is a single poem by Waide Riddle that explores the attraction that one man has for another. A Gay romantic poem originally published online at Spillwords: the international poetry journal. In 1993, Waide sat on a park bench in Washington Park/Denver, Colorado. It was winter and snowing. He saw two attractive men sitting on a bench on the opposite side of the park holding hands. That moment inspired this poem. Audio poem narrated by Faris Monshi.
