Sandra Haight Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Vintage Retro furniture and fixtures that have been in our home since 1968.  People love to see our Vintage Retro gems, and pieces like mine sell for high prices to collectors.

I, Mid-Century Modern

An anomaly in furnishings, I was;
so avant-garde, I triggered smiles and buzz.
Not like baroque, ornate styles of the past,
my bona fide remake was made to last.

A cacophony of patterns- deja vu,
brought slow ennui; now time for something new.
With full carte blanche, my sharper look emerged.
Sparked by elan, my modern era surged.

Some called my offbeat stylists dilettante-
but, retro styles are still on lists of wants.

Carolyn Devonshire March 20, 2019 at 11:48 AM I really like the decor, Sandra. You've done a nice job decorating. If I like a piece of furniture, I'll buy it and keep it forever. Won't listen to people who insist the styles of items don't go together. As long as you're happy, that's all that counts. Enjoyed! Hugs, Carolyn Sandra Haight March 20, 2019 at 12:27 PM Thanks for reading my poem, Carolyn! What is more fascinating is that pieces like mine are now considered 'antique' and demand amazing prices. For example, I saw my couch listed for $4,999 recently at an auction (I paid $235.00 in 1968). Crazy! Hugs, Sandra
