the giant table, luxuriating in my study
where I spent many days, many nights
engrossed, in my books of all titles
reading, for long hours with no sense of time
during the day, I opened my window
in the night, that old lamp lit to light
the table served me well,
it was polished, it shined
it’s surface smooth against my skin
I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on my chair
with my legs stretched under my table
tired sometimes
I even rested on it lazily
I owned it, utilized it, lived my years with it
almost developed, a relationship silent
yet to my surprise, somehow
I missed to notice
those dim beautiful patterns
formed, by the rich GRAIN in its wood
Your table must be blushing right now 😀😀

I like a lot about the poem, like hoe intimately you describe your connection with the table yet there is something that remained unnoticed. Almost as if it is a person.
I do not get ratings. Aren’t ratings overrated anyway?

In my tenth grade, we has 15 poems, 15 short stories and a novel by Shakespeare. We had a lot to study for critical appreciation and other literary tools…I had not found them useful then but I get to use them very often on this platform
