Solaced

Tall Ladder back chair,
cane seated, worn and ready.
waiting for the master’s weight,
Solitary chair,
for the solitary man,
who found love and returned not.

Congratulations on your win with this awesome choka, Rob. Love the way you decribe this "solitary man" as one who "found love and returned not." People create their own doom that way. Keep embracing dreams and love, my friend. Best wishes, Carolyn

I think I should be happy for this solitary man, but there might be another story involved. This makes the poem very interesting. Love, daver
