Chalet On My Mind

A wooden porch looks old like Grammy’s chair That rocks us of fables, miming her voice; While a neighbor spoofs wolf legends, beware! Under the moonlight dim, sweet hours rejoice. How evening’s ray now settles on the ground While urban traffic booms, only to impose On our chalet shading youth’s prints around; A moment when life blossomed like a rose. Enchanted House for Nayda Ivette Negron and Brian's Select 8
