Have you ever thought?
About the significance of a chair
Providing comfort and relaxing care
Chairs, many in number
Starring in all sizes and shapes
Making for countless escapes
Summertime in the backyard
A sturdy, relaxing hammock waits
Making afternoon naps an ideal fate
Looking for a cool place to sit
Bean bag chairs, ready for fun
Comfortable seats for everyone
A rocking chair seldom sits alone
Inviting story time for two
Grandma reads, right on cue
Every living room offers choices
A colorful sofa seats two, maybe more
Crowding together, let’s not try for four
Extra chairs needed at an event
Arriving much, much too late
A folding chair will be my fate
Summer sun, surf, and sand
Sitting at the beach, carries the day
Relaxing under brilliant, sunny rays
Energetic, little people arrive
Parking themselves in tiny banana seats
Rocking with laughter, enjoying some treats
laughter, without any cares
An oversized recliner, in a corner
Always my best and most favorite place
Stretching out to relax, by the fireplace
Before you go, I have one request to ask
Will you please “take my place” in this special chair
The dentist is eager and ready, with genuine care

I’m with you. A dental chair is not one of my favorites, but what we do without the others?

Thanks for joining my own least favorite chair at the dentist. I need to make an appointment soon for a cleaning and checkup.

As I sit in my comfy overstuffed chair in the corner, facing the sofa, the swivel chair with ottoman, the recliner, and a tiny antique rocker, your poetry captured my heart. I had to go back and read it twice more! ❤ ❤

Jan, thanks for sharing some thoughts. It is a pleasure to share about even something as unique as our favorite (or least favorite) chair. I can remember my grandmother’s antique corner chair.

What happened to your grandmother’s antique corner chair? My sanctuary has three rockers is three corners. Two of them are wicker and decorative wood, built in the early 1900s by Bob’s grandfather (or maybe even his great-grandfather). So precious to have them!

I have no idea what happened to the antique corner chair. I am assuming a relative has kept it (hopefully). Rocking chairs are precious heirlooms.

Indeed they are! I need to blog about my three rockers one of these days!

I’ve never thought about how a special a chair is; but I have no interest in taking your place in the last one! 🙂

Hmm, I am still searching for a volunteer. Perhaps there is a Nova student who wants to earn some “easy” money.
