The white cottage with a beautiful door
The white cottage with a beautiful door
The white cottage with a beautiful door
encircled
by trees
deciduous
ones
to
fend off the wind
wild gales, storms from afar.
This
functional slate roof
protects
this beautiful cottage
by the very steep road
with
a bend at the top
down
which cyclists free wheel.
Big garden behind the white cottage
with
a playhouse of wood
where
children imagine,
here two
cats sleep with
their
fishy old dreams.
Chickens
run freely right by the walls
scratching
and pecking
‘til
the ground is a mess
the
eggs are all free range
laid
hidden from sight.
This
place seems near perfect
a
storybook home
with
flowers so pretty
someone
lucky must live here,
this white cottage with the beautiful door.

Ola: I go past this cottage often and wonder at its occupants.
You had me at "deciduous". :)
I LOVED this! What a great way you have with making the words in your poems flow and paint a picture. After reading this, I can close my eyes and "see" the cottage...
Sorry that I don't comment more on your poetry - you are one of my absolute favorite poets and I always look forward to your posts. :)
Kevin Routh: Thank you so much for this. I aim to paint a picture with words(I am rubbish with a brush and paints!) and these words seem to work for you. I am so glad that you like my work, it is so important to me to get constructive feedback.I feel the pressure of being you favourite poet and will try to live up to this! :)
Sounds like a neat place. Our chickens like to hide their eggs in sneaky places too.
Lisa @ Two Bears Farm: It is a pretty little house near here.
Such a nice cottage to visit, I would love to visit here again
out on the prairie: The cottage that inspired this does exist but don't forget there has been a certain amount of 'poets' license'!

So great to read poems that aren't filled with inner angst. I look forward to more poems.

I love the cats' fishy dreams!
