From England ~ Abi…

cat on the hearth
dog at the door

boots at the stoop
cows at the stile

thick coffee mugs
coat on the nail

chores to be done
eggs in the barn

hutch full of china
rugs on the floor

teacups of light
thin as a veil

beds deep & wide
feathers and down

done with the work
stars after dark

 

On a British mystery, one character promised another a proper life — I seem to have a deep traditional streak in me, because this is what emerged. it seemed ok when I wrote it; now it seems lame.

Comments welcomed.
