    I don't see how it was a funny poem either. But beautiful nonetheless.

    I haven't written anything in forever, but today I did. And I enjoyed reading your poems to inspire me.

    You know what...I know this is a funny piece but it's something that is REALLY sad HAHAHA My family had these couches for a very long time and when it was time to get rid of them everyone was a little broken up about it.
    NICE!!!!

    Great entrance~

    The house feels so empty without you
    Everything seems so out of place
    You were always there to lean upon

    It's climatic. Nice poem, 5/5. Keep on writting.

    The house feels so empty without you
    Everything seems so out of place
    [The house feels so empty without you
    everything's so out of place]
    - For some odd reason I wasn't fond with the usage of "seems" I think that it didn't connect well with the word "feel". Maybe because of the double -e? It's just my opinion, though.

    You were always there to lean upon
    To cuddle up to
    Always so warm and inviting
    [You were always there to lean upon,
    to cuddle up to, so warm and inviting]
    - The second line seemed a bit too short and the next line used 'always' again. And, it messed with the flow for me.

    Never complained when I was angry
    And threw things at you
    - I liked these lines. They make the poem original. I don't think I've ever read a poem where people apologized for throwing things at someone else. I'm sure they're out there, but I like the idea of it. Makes it a bit more direct. And, I like when people make poems direct, as long as they're not over doing it.

    You were always there with open arms
    You looked proud and touch
    [You were always there with open arms
    You looked proud and touchED]
    - I'm guessing you mean 'touched'. I'm not quite sure, but that's what I'm assuming by the lines before and after.

    You were fading away, became so pale
    [You were fading away, becoming so pale]
    OR
    [You were fading away, you became so pale.]

    Hahaha. I honestly did NOT expect the ending. I didn't even realize that it was under funny poems, which is odd because there's bright yellowing surrounding the loss of something. Fifteen years is a LONG time for a couch, I've seen them last 9 or 10 but not 15. You must take excellent care of your things. Which is good! (:

    Cute poem, Gem. Really cute.
