Old Shattered Pieces

Old chair shattered pieces trash now
I'm envious of my love's new chair
For he softly lays his sleepy brow
Upon that brown leather without a care

I'm envious of my love's new chair
For he snuggles down close sleeps
Upon that brown leather without a care
Rests, dreams, and quietly talks peeps

For he snuggles down close sleeps
In this big man new leather recliner
Rest, dreams, and quietly talks peeps
This big man who rest then is kinder

In this big man new leather recliner
He caresses the leather gently
This big man who rest then is kinder
While he rest I watch him intently

He caresses the leather gently
For he softly lays his sleepy brow
While he rest I watch him intently
Old chair shattered pieces trash now

Congratulations on your big no. 2. I'm finding you in the winner circle very often. Lovely poem. I have my man's big blue leather chair and I sit in my smaller version and still see him sitting there. Love, Joyce

I have a recliner but it is getting a bit worn down. I like what you did with the pantoum form. It is a Malaysian form originally I believe. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Cool Pantoum Sara. Good luck in Dr Ram's Contest. Thanks for your comment. But Sara, without first a change of enought of the American's people's hearts, no, an election will not change a world ran by carnal minds of greed. I am praying for a miracle. Smile. Agape, Moses
