Chairs, by Joey Meffen

Sitting on the ground,
bearing all of our burdens.
Silently, they weep.


   This haiku is about the plight of an average chair, having no purpose than to hold us up when we are tired. It has the standard build of a haiku, with three lines and a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. This poem has personification (chairs do not weep).
