My chair a collection of short poems

by Darren   Aug 14, 2014


My chair has a mass of noodles
that have fell from the pot
and tried to crawl away
like chicken flavoured maggots

I stare at my chair
and remember your face
hair as pretty as lace
and a look of disgrace
when I say bed time

another bloody poem about my chair
it hasn't had this much attention
since I was about 17 years old
if you know what I mean

Hello again my chair
I am going to stare
at the wooden frame
and those curved legs
and wonder what
those stains are?

Its my bloody chair
I haven't seen you in a while
you think I don't care
but now I have parked my arse
again on your pad
you can stop the relentless
creaking, proving you are sad.
And old

My chair is in hiding
fed up of the constant
streams of pretend poems
describing its past
and its present
and its future as fire wood.

    Haha, it's indeed awesome the way the themes flow into each other. Are you sure you came out sane out of that contest?

      I was lucky, I wasn't sane to begin with

    This inspired me to go back and re-visit the threads again. So hilarious. I can't tell you how much I laughed at the stanza before the last, I don't know why.
    Thanks for making my long day less awful.

    I want to pick your brain, and wonder how you can write something like this! Whether it was a long poem or short poems combined. Amazing. If they are all short poems as one, the flow is immaculate. (Intentional or not).

    A bloody chair, but I understand because one object can bring back so many memories. The first thing that tells me is you've had it for a long time. I really like the progression of the story. You remember each detail well. It's personal to you and that's what makes the poem great. There is a lot of humour here as well. Very clever lines make for a better poem. Some of the memories are great, like the second stanza, it seems to be about your daughter or son. I loved the imagery of each line. Though it may seem simple to some, the details bring to life a memory that the reader can feel and be there with you. Excellent

    Thanks

    this was towards the end of the site contest and everything was a bit manic.

    I thought I would just bundle them together and post.

    appreciate your comment

    This is so interesting, it seems like a tough write but you indeed pieced it together is a way that was full of imagery. I don't think I would be able to come up with such a strong poem about a chair, I loved the use of your vocabulary and the metaphors throughout.

    5/5
