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

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

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

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.

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