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.
