Dust gathered between carvings
she still cradles herself to comfort.
Many an actress, artiste and their admirers
Admiral, aircrew, atheist, adorers
asshole and advisor alike,
sat, sipping coffee
or simply lazing on her armrest,
yet none,
reflected on the agonies
or the artwork that lied behind…
Author notes
Prompt: 7 letter word beginning with "A" I have chosen "Artisan" and used actress, artiste, admirer, admiral, aircrew, atheist, adorers, asshole, advisor, armrest, agonies, artwork in the body of the poem.
Something different!

This is funny! I am a fan of this kind of pressed-wood decoration - what an original take on the prompt and the way you incorporated all these "A" words was delightful. My only suggestion is that I think maybe "inlaid" should replace "that lied" at the end.
