Before
you
came
I
sat
in
the
swing
thinking
it
was
a
chair

It's actually a profile of my face. Does that count as an extra post?

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Heh,Heh . . . That funny guy is in the room now, everyone mind your manners. And no, Ticklefingers, your face dos NOT count for two posts. What a shameful idea that it would. Keep sitting in that chair that was a swing.

It is hard to hold on to the deeper meaning of this poem with the bit of mirth at the bottom. I couldn't help but in vision things I'm sure you didn't intend. Had me giggling.

Hi Miss Lori,

Basically, it deals with perspectives and how they change when someone of interest comes into your space. All things being up to interpretation, it was pleasing to hear you going beyond the closing words of levity. That particular line was an impulse when posting and certainly not part of the original text.

Thanks so much as always for your insightful replies.
