Write a poem from the perspective of an inanimate household object, using personification.
➰➰➰
Sitting on your nose, grabbing both your ears
I guide your eyes to see, perceive and read what you want
Sometimes you wear me like a crown on your head
And then like a lost fool, look around for me everywhere
I hold the most important position in your life especially
As you grow old and can’t see without me even a foot
It’s true that I am so important to you that you keep
Not one or two but many spare pairs of me all over your home!

In response to W3, hosted and promoted by David

Love your portrait of your reading glasses – and they know their worth! ‘I hold the most important position in your life’… So true. I’d be lost without mine, that’s for sure.

Yes you should. And luckily for us, they aren’t as expensive as they are in America! Over there one had to think many times before getting a spare.
