I sit in my armchair relaxed
let my mind wander

watching a linebacker's sack

as an

puts us at our
ease


Ekphrasis after words of Matisse...

Solitary hour
Momentarily adrift
Armchair traveler
Transitory decades pass
Silently animated....

Bored as an empty rockin' chair
Neckered n' we ride us pair
Back n' forth hangin’ my hair
You swing a tune like an armchair
Rock n' rollin' my musical chair...

There once was a gray shark called "Trouble"
He ordered his armchair X- double
A mermaid swam by
She smiled and said "Hi!"
He replied with a fragrant bubble......

I ran the 10K marathon.
At once I knew I’d chosen wrong.
My heart and lungs on fire,
I thought I might expire.
Next time I’ll safely watch from home.

Armchair quarterback

Television is his game

He knows how to win.

Image 1.

As platinum clouds drift by,
sea breeze in early evening,
kisses ripples on incoming tide.
Dusk's sun reflects upon veranda,
as nanna's armchair rocks gently.

Erratic police chases are popular
TV full of FBI agents
Fascinating entertainment today
Vice cops on fourteen shows
I am an armchair detective
Solving crimes as I eat potato chips and ice cream...

His wife called him a good for nothing rat
         As in his armchair old Jim sat,
    Jim retorted with a very broad grin,
 You know you will never get a double chin,
Because all that exercise is bound to kill fat....

in the adventure known as life
some live through the stories
they read in an old armchair 
while others live their life
to give the people in that seat 
an adventure to live through
so make sure that story is about you...

The smell of baking bread
A welcome at the door,
That comfortable armchair-
Paintings on the wall,
Gran-kids coming to call,
No ceremony or fuss
Family and us-
Bibles & books abound,
His love to surround,
Loyalty is found...

An
armchair,
old and red,
sits alone in 
the dense green forest.
Silent and pensive with
life passing before him as
it was truly meant to be seen.
NOT through the eyes of the looking screen. 

What type of poetry is this?  Help me!...

He wraps his arms around me
Holding me close, 
Making me feel comforted,
Comfortable,
Soothed and reassured,
Supported by his strong arms

Armchair Quarterback

Television is his game

Tons of snacks and beer

He always calls the right plays

If they'd listen, they would win!

Rocking slowly
A rattan armchair
Tired body
Eyes pinning at the ceiling 
Blank 
No lizards 
No beetles 
Bored and alone
Mind loose 
Eyes dimming 
On the past
Fading away
At last eyes closed 
For the present
For a short nap 
And a better tomorrow...

Frasier Crane
had a hyperactive brain
loved all things suave and debonair
but not a fan of his dad's armchair

Martin Crane
got by with his dog and cane
was a beer and burger scholar
who knew the value of a dollar

I am an armchair detective
An armchair forensic anthropologist
An armchair criminal investigator
I solve every case; and quickly. 

I am an armchair forensic pathologist.
An arm chair blood spatter analytic technician.
I solve murder after murder
On a daily basis....

Don't tread here,

Don't tread there,

Look out Dad my toys are everywhere,

There's a car down here,

A book over there,

And look my balls rolled under that armchair,

Now it's time to clear them away,

You say I can't Mum and Dad I've had such a busy day....

Archie Bunker the bigot so grumpy
In old armchair sat crusty and lumpy
Dirty dreary life
Mistreating his wife
Women's lib went quick feisty from frumpy

There was a disabled musician
Who stiffly played every audition.
Now recording with care,
Strumming from his armchair,
On youtube he’ll post each composition.

Excursions, picnics, get-togethers, ballgames
  An exhausted father slumps into his favorite armchair, leans back --
Ah, the pot of gold at the end of ‘his special day’
  
…Dad hobbles outside – bad knees and all – to set up
     the sprinklers and haul in the gear from the van...
