The Blue Wingback Chair Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Blue Wingback Chair
The blue wingback chair
Nestled into the corner
Of our living room
So old and worn out
A part of my life
As far as I can remember.
It was my stronghold
When I was a child
The punishment chair
For my misdeeds
It was where I cried
The tear marks
Are constant reminders
Of my childhood years.
I can still recall
I could lie for ages
Wrapped in a cocoon
Of soft blue silk
And the wonderful memories
Of yesteryears.
But how can I forget
The best memory I have ever had
In the blue wingback chair
It has been etched
In my mind
Forever.
Whenever I remember
My first kiss
In the blue wingback chair
It evokes pleasure
Of knowing the first real taste
Of pure unfettered desire
With my first love.
O, this is so lovely! No matter how many other memories that chair evokes, the last stanza is the perfect closure: and the greatest of all memories!
It is a beautiful poem on love and memories having stunning expression and nice collocations. The last stanza is more remarkable. The beginning is fantastic and amusing. Thanks for sharing.
An amazing poem with vivid memories of childhood as well as spring of youth associated with the blue -wing back chair.
A beautiful poem and beautifully well written and presented Rose Marie. A poem that reaches in and touches every readers heart and soul. 10+ and I wish you well and keep writing, keep writing.
So the chair has good and bad memories for you. At first I thought it a sad chair, where you were punished but then it became a lovers chair so happy endings.
