Broken Pieces

Pantoum, Contest winner

Old chair broken shattered pieces trash now

I'm jealous of my love's new chair

For he softly lays his sleepy brow

Upon that brown leather without a care

I'm envious of my love's new chair

For he snuggles down close deep sleeps

Upon that brown leather without a care

Rests, dreams and quietly talks little peeps

For he snuggles down close deep sleeps

In this big man new recliner

Rest, dreams and quietly talks little peeps

This big man who rest then is kinder

In this big man new recliner

He caresses the leather gently

This big man who rest then is kinder

While he rest I watch him intently

He caresses the leather gently

For he softly lays his sleepy brow

While he rest I watch him intently

Old chair broken shattered pieces trash now

Interesting description of a man who caresses his new chair gently and kindly...almost as if the man has a new friend or lover. You have done well with the poetic rhyming form.
