Best Living Room Poems

My living room would be an ordinary place
		if not for angel figures by the door
		that grace the top two shelves of my ornate bookcase.
		The room is more appealing than before
		I placed them there, where I'll make room for more.

		My living room would have no personal,...

In my living room, 
i am curled into a cedar rocker
listening to the spring rain
on my roof.
sipping on spidersilk chai,
webbing grasping onto 
the ceramic rim 
and the milk and honey
enveloping my lips.
i feel like my tongue is satin
and can speak no frail language
when i tell...

Looking out, everything but the mountains
seems affected by wind today
It drives the sea green water that divides 
our little island from the other bay
Coconut palm leaves, wildly sway 
color and movement, vibrant, alive

Hedges shimmer, verdant with flowers
Tropical warmth between blowing showers
And, under cloud shadows, at...

I lost the remote in the living room.
On Saturday.
My husband and I ran around looking and looking.
At first it was just the couch pillows, we were looking through.
An hour into it we had made what looks like a bon fire,
Tipping over couches, recliners, and such.
We...

There, There! Good Children!
I say to the furniture gracing my space, 
semi-circling the weary gray eye 
of the television, as if it were the center
of the world.  It's tired, but YOU are 
to rest upon. Support for  the watchers 
in my diminishing world:...

I live atop a foothill to mountains of the Cascade Range
and people here keep to themselves whether on busses or on trains;
from my back porch are lights a big city can be seen;
and the blissful aroma of Tacoma remains endlessly lingering.

Strange men and women drive...

Call me and kiss my smile 
Isn't that.....your style?
I'm licking my lips.
Aah! The taste of you.

I'm on my way home.
Savage affection you fed me.
I have never known.
A satisfying COOL autumn wind

I breathe in.
My key is in the door
I imagine myself  laying on
The thirsty desert...

Ghost in the living Room


This night, my abode is filled with absolute silence
And from the living room, the sound of loud banging on the floor
I am living in a neighborhood of crime and violence
So at about two am, I get out of bed; the robber...

Wallpapering the living room is a job for many
So, we invited our relatives over, in all there were twenty
They got glue all over the carpet, it was an enormous mess
We got six or seven wallpaper strips up, more or less.

The next time we do this,...

A Living Room; Incomplete

Like a dark brown leather couch
          Always there
at the end of a very long day
So comforting, just to see you
So welcoming, I despair

As I finally cross the threshold
to a face, I wish were...

Our evenings have withdrawn
into a closed living room, 
where we don’t chat
but let a large TV cheat us. 
We watch life on a screen 
with a vicarious thrill.

There were children everywhere
in our ancestral home – 
you could see one 
even within a bamboo basket
lying upside...

The Christmas tree stood tall and beautiful,
Decorated with ornaments of all shapes and sizes.

A fireplace where the stockings are hung with care,
Green and gold filled with Christmas goodies.

A comfortable chair to sit in and relax,
Decorated with a green and gold cushion.

The fireplace to keep everyone...

Lorne Park Christmas at our parents and grandparents beautiful house,
The beautiful floor to ceiling Christmas Tree.

Decorated with our favorite decorations and Christmas lights.
The tree stood on grandma's beautiful carved linen chest in front of the lving-room window.

Father would decorate the large windows with Christmas lights,
At...

After grueling sessions of
 
Guitar Hero 3,
 
I would often look to the mirror
 
to my right
 
and marvel at how
 
my vision was affected by the game,
 
with the mirror becoming twisted
 
and augmented,
 
slithering across the wall in my living room....
