Ranting From a Chair

I am but a slave among lives hidden features
Who cares what I crave midst these two-legged creatures
I crave superb polish and fine furniture wax
Extremely strong wood glue and upholstery tacks
To be moved more toward the shade and less in the sun
To have a tung oil bath, ah, now that would be fun
I crave to be gently rocked and read to again
Like when grandpa was alive and Jimmy was ten 
But most of all to stay in my room at the keep
And be warmed by the fire until I fall asleep

You have a beautiful sense of rhythm-- natural and not sing-songy. It makes this poem carry to the end with satisfaction. Great job!

Welcome to Soup Christina. I would have put this down as a personification poem and it is wonderful! Well thought out and perfectly penned. I am looking up Canzone poem now for I have no idea what it is.

Thank you Caren!!! I really did not know which category to put this poem in. So I took your advice and changed my category to personification.
