Em's GA Prompt Stories - 2. #112 — His Chair

Giving poetry a shot with this GA prompt.

He sat in the chair,

Day after day. His house lost.

With nowhere to go.

Years he spent homeless.

No one cared or gave it thought.

Quietly he sat.

The Old Homeless Man,

He was called. His story lost.

Known only to him.

Days passed, became years.

Thousands and thousands walked by,

Rare few stopped to talk.

One day he was gone.

Found dead outside, in winter.

Now they all stood still.

The word spread like fire.

Flowers were left, candles lit.

His chair full of gifts.

Those that never stopped,

Now stood in front of his chair.

“We’ll miss you,” they said.

…as if.

RIP Travis.
Give the prompt a go.

Em, very well done. I find I like this format. It seems restrictive, but is actually very flexible.
Thanks Joe. :) I was pretty nervous writing this since I've not had a lot of experience with writing poetry. But I really liked the format as well, definitely made writing it much easier for an amateur like me. :P

I'm glad the format gave you the chance to spread your talents Em. Never know what you will find or how it will go. I liked this. You spot light the forgotten and overlooked. That is always powerful.

Thanks Wayne. :) I've always been a bit hesitant at attempting poetry but I'm glad I gave this prompt a chance too. It was challenging, but enjoyable nonetheless. I think these prompts are great in making yourself try something new, so thanks for coming up with them. :D
