During Eid, she sits on this chair and we do our traditional salam for forgiveness for a year of wrong doing or for upsetting her in any way.<br /><br />I did not think of this annual ritual in my family when I saw the prompt photo. I saw loneliness, hence my poem. <br /><br />But reading your poem,Tess, I am reminded to forgive that winged chair for any flaw for it brought us much joy.<br />ninotazizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491437553562159354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-14037392639273721452012-11-27T04:20:12.234-05:002012-11-27T04:20:12.234-05:00I made the mistake of reading yours before I'd...I made the mistake of reading yours before I'd written mine.
