She Sits

She Sits She sits as set in her ways as the creaky old rocking chair.

thanks for the high mark Eve. I have noticed that if you hand any grandma a baby she immediately starts to rock back and forth. Its just a Grandma thing.

I love how you compare the person to the chair. I was trying to add that element into mine but I already filled up one line. Dang, why couldn't this one have been a tanka or a ku!

Hey Andrea, it was tough to "cram" all of Grandma into one line so I took the "mirror metaphor" road
