urban snapshots in monochrome : chair
it leans forlornly
against a greasy wall
a castor gone,
its fabric worn
soaking in the last rays
of the evening sun
tomorrow a dumpster
will devour it whole

... and the following day noone will remember it... and all too often a similar thing happens to humans...
enjoyed!
yes
planned obsolescence
a fate for us all
good one
Thinking about
the great times it had
the chair feels sad...
I like the picture too.
hi polona,
thank you!
i wrote this with an allusion to human life in general, what will happen to us, when we become old and useless. :)
hey floots,
always great to hear from my favourite Scottish poet! :)
hi gautami tripathy,
thank you for visiting.
every thing has its worth until it become useless. :)
the picture is actually a colour photo but i had it reduced to black/white ( in tune with the monochrome theme). :D
Nice post-processing on the photo!
Life's a circle ain't it? Old age is meant to remind us of humility, that's what i think :)
The essence of everything in monochrome. Excellent poem!!!
medusa,
thank you, i like to mess around with the image editing program. :)
pat,
thanks!
glad you like the "monochrome" series of poems. :)
We use things and then throw them away and then apply the same attitude in our relationship with people, blow thou winter wind...thou art not so unkind!
