Dear Purple Couch

Oh, Dear Purple Couch,
you speak my name so sweetly
when I'm in your arms.

Your velvet touch sighs
like falling petals of Spring.
We rest together.

What might I give you
to return your gift of joy?
Perchance, this poem?

Our couch is the place we have many of our meals, relax after exhausting days and re-connect with each other. I never considered showing it my gratitude, but your piece has given me something to think about L - nice work!

Hello, Michael,

My purple couch is not for everyone - definitely not traditional. But it's extremely comfortable and has a lot of character. It sounds like your couch is a huge part of your lives, too!

Thank you for reading!

Oh my dear friend!

This is so cute!

It's absolutely a great way to personify this piece of furniture. I won't say it's just an object because it seems to be an important part of you and your day!

I'm so glad I haven't missed this one

A winner is here!

So good to hear from you! Always thinking of you.

Thank you!

Hello L

Wonderful. I see you on your knees kissing and caressing your couch in a lascivious manner before slipping into its arms and falling softly asleep. Alex.
