So many rooms I used to know They all had much I miss. Their windows, floors and doors would flow With breathing just like this.

Each room had its own purpose… and some really were prisons.

I love the photo with the door ajar, and the peek into your creative corner. I am in the midst of moving, and I hope to find all the treasures I’ve boxed! Your poem made me smile. I always enjoy y our work.

Each room has a story to tell. It would be a nice framework for a book, to tell it by the important rooms in a person’s life.

Some of us moved like gypsies in our youth. No one room stands out. But I have been in the same home for 30 years now, and my den with desktop computer, and family room with another desk, surrounded by thousands of DVDs are my main habitats.

My own rooms are all jumbled together in my mind. I like how they seem like old friends in your poem. (K)

lol I can see you are a tech man Frank .. I live in 7 x 2.4 metres so such a workstation is beyond my imagination 🙂

That is a small area. If I converted meters to feet correctly it is about 184 square feet. I built a small house once 16 by 16 feet or 256 square feet. It had a loft inside, so that added 64 square feet but you could not stand up in it. We now live in a 730 square foot apartment.

That’s true! The particular room in the picture now has a couch in it. Even the desk is gone. But I could always rebuild it although I doubt I will.

Thank you, Dwight! There is a lot of light and room there. Of course the walls and desk are white as well to reflect all of that.

I like the idea of the flowing and breathing.
I’m intrigued by that partially opened door–and the blue. Both mysterious!

I wonder if the missed rooms are the ones outdoors in even the public places one used to be able to frequent without safety concerns. Either way I like the flow of this poem. You do a lot in four lines.

Those are rooms as well. I miss areas I can’t go to at the moment, some because they are far away, some because they are now blocked off. Thank you!
