Mag 93


NOT JUST A SOFA.



It was Red
It was soft
It was bright
And so right.

Seat of many tales
For many seasons
Warm, cosy and
Affectionate.

A love seat,
A comfort zone
For curling up &
To shed a tear.

Lumpy and creaky
A silent spectator
Witness to love
And life lived well.

For Magpie Tales

    ...not much life in it now! I do love a love-seat, though.

    I like ... seat of many tales

    If only the sofa could talk, there would be blushes more red than the sofa itself all around ;)
