THE PIANO BENCH
A PLACE TO SIT
BUT IT HAD STUFF INSIDE
I SAT ON IT
BUT MUST ADMIT
IT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND
I FOCUSED ON
PLAYING SONGS
THE BENCH ITSELF IGNORED
THE PIANO
WAS THE MAIN FOCUS
THE BENCH WAS NOT EXPLORED
Author's Notes/Comments:
JUST CAME ACROSS SOME WRITERS PROMPTS AND THE PIANO BENCH WAS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST...IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW MUCH I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED...MY FOCUS WAS ON THE PIANO AND PLAYING SONGS ON IT BUT NEVER ON THE BENCH I SAT ON...OURS WAS A WOODEN ONE WITH A HINGE SO YOU COULD STORE SHEET MUSIC INSIDE BUT OTHER THAN GETTING THAT OUT OF THERE AND SITTING ON IT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT ALL...THE PROMPTS WERE MEANT FOR A STORY OF UP TO FIVE HUNDRED WORDS BUT I JUST WROTE A POEM ABOUT IT...
