Attempt at a Tanka

The challenge for today from NaPoWriMo is to write a type of poem called a tanka. It's a strange form (to me, at least) but what the heck. I couldn't come up with anything that would fit the theme of this blog, so this little five-line poem has nothing to do with mental illness.

My living room

Couch and a lounge chair?

Mine are in such disrepair.

Rug, lamp, solitaire?

They're yours but they're calling me.

I'll take them if they are free.
