Quiet Power of a Chair

Written: April 26, 2025, for contest by Brian Strand ***************** It comes in sizes small medium large In an array of styles artistic trendy designs vibrant colors! a chair is like a friend you've always dreamed of it's as refreshing as a soft breeze it's there for us at any hour in every nook and cranny anywhere we need it they are made for our backsides offering a haven for relaxation whether for reaching for stars indulging sleeping loving playing eating or whatever else your heart desires just as the earth cradles us as our home, a chair invites us to share our stories & experiences It welcomes everyone black white Asian rich poor a celebrity a politician middle class everyone fits Imagine a world without a chair life would be so tough picture a chair nested in snow or standing proudly on granite or marble more than a bed more than a stylish hat or cozy house— a chair is uniquely designed for one thing: to hold It's a sanctuary for our quick and bendable souls!

I see this is a winner in a contest! No wonder! As I sit in my chair reading poetry and basking in the written word, I didn't even appreciate nor think of the blessing of a chair, totally taking it for granted, but now, I really appreciate it so much! You are right, a chair is magnificent comfort! I love how you formatted your poem as well :)

SP, this is a pleasure to read. It's also fun to move along with the shape as it's not the usual eye pattern I use when reading. You point out all the good things chairs do for us. We have a couple of Mies Van Der Rohe knock offs in our home. We love sitting on them. I'm sure you'd recognize these if you see them. We also maintain some of our chairs. The wood sometimes separates and needs a little TLC. So we might do for our chairs what they do for us. Smiles!!

My chair is all of those things, ever so comfortable with pillows, cradling me. This is so nice to read, SP. Enjoying!
