Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Chair, seems to expand on the typical abilities and characteristics of the lonesome sit-estal, which becomes the romantic player in an exciting scene.

Comment from QC Poet
What a great imagery in this free verse poem entry I originally thought this photo of the chair was a misdirection of a hand gliding seat hammock swaying clinching grip and eyes down references. Good Luck in the free form contest

This seems like it could be someone getting solace from God for grief of losing a loved one who is the presence in the empty chair.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy the rest of the day and week.

Comment from estory
I liked the abstract expressionist language here, there is this great surreal element, dreamlike, unsettling. The strong images of threadbare lines holding you up over chasms, the fragile chair suspended in mid air, all this speaks of the fragile nature of relationships, of trust itself. I liked the fractured rhythm, I thought that was a great example of form providing the framework for the theme. estory

That was haunting. This poem caught my attention right away. The emotion is riveting. The images are clear. I had to read this twice, and it had even more of an impact the second time. I think this is awesome

What a beautiful imagery you're creating in this enticing poem. Love came and grew in this place. I loved the phrase: 'I rest in the hammock of your palm'. How beautiful image is that. All the best of luck. Ulla xcx

Comment from Sally Law
Exceptional poem, my creative friend. Much is suggested here and it's intimate and sensual. Much happended in the chair. The place he loved to sit? Or where love was made. I was poor in my younger years, and remember how we took our chairs to the porch and drank lemonade on hot days. Perhaps this couple did the same. I am inclined to believe they did.
The chair is alive with memories, although he's gone. Magnificent offering in Free Form Poetry.
Sending you my best today as always, dear Jess, and best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Comment from Navada
I love your use of imagery in this poignant piece. The sting is in the tail as we reach the lines "Still hung up/on the presence/in a vacant chair" and then develop a greater understanding of the cold absences in the atmosphere created earlier. Lovely writing.
