My Space

I have wrote this today just to enter it into Angi's contest--a place where I write, my kitchen table.

My Space

A slice of teak from an antediluvian tree

eight lost souls in chairs-I see

one parchment book full-cold tea

excursive words in every corner.-homely

A pure white page and - only me.

A fun holding intense feeling in it....
Few lines yet so thoughtful....and indeed you put the words incredibly!
(Nah, am not coating sugar)....I just love this great short...the last line here is mine fave too!
Thanks for sharing :)

Whole my pleasure to do that...you're heartedly welcome! :)

That kitchen table holds many a fond memories for me, as well. Now that I have my own family, I think back on those days when life itself seemed to center around it.

This reminded me of when I started writing, Will...with my smith corona typewriter propped atop my lap! Those were the days...and here I am, still writing, and still as passionate about it as I ever was.

This is lovely, for so many reasons. Thank you for sharing it!

My best,
Kelly

Thanks again kelly, I am going to be a gentleman and not ask your age. But you did give me a clue with the Smith Carona, make and model?.
Take care.
Will

[Kelly Scheppers]

That's very sweet of you, Will...I couldn't tell you the make and model, for its been packed away for years, ever since I moved here to California. I bought it back in 1989, and I'm holding onto it for sentimental reasons.

[Rita L. Sev]

The table, surrounded by empty chairs and memories... a wonderful place for a writer! I love your last line - that pure page - and you - working in harmony.

[Will Neill]

Just a pure white page (and sometimes rage) and me--thanks Rita.

I love picturing the life your table had before it was a table. I pictured that ancient wood surrounded by eight misty, whispering, moaning ghosts. Thank you for this peek into your place, Will. This was a fun contest for me! Congratulations! Angi~

This is great. You're getting very good at poetry. Great rhyme scheme that hints to a feeling of pureness and solemnity.

The kitchen table is my choice for doing artwork, also. A great little poem, Will, and I hope Angi thinks so, too.
