"My Thinking Chair"

My Thinking Chair (a Villanelle)



My dearest memories come so sweet

WhileI linger in my “Thinking Chair"...

Where children gathered round my feet.



In ev’n tide we’d come to meet

each little face so bright and fair...

My dearest memories come so sweet.



Squeals and laughter here did greet

They knew their parents love and care...

Where Children gathered round my feet.



Discovering frogs and snakes was neat

Caught with joy inside their lairs.

My dearest memories come so sweet.



Lemonade stands helped beat the heat!

Dirt devils come, and don’t play fair

Where children gathered round my feet.



Dancing princess, school track meet,

Joys of weddings filled the air

My dearest memories came so sweet,

Where children gathered round my feet.
