I’ve been long waiting for the day
for the flowers to overtake this house
in their quest to consume the sun –
so I sit here in this window,
twirl my fingers around the vines slowly strangling this ancient place,
and wonder when the time will come
when I will be able dance across the petals
in celebration of freedom.

Nice Picture. Love the house.

Once upon a time…
Imagine you are there
trapsing through a house, belonging to a bear…
wrecking things up, making a mess…
my name is…
do you have a guess?
It’s…

A beautiful house laid there,
Flowers and leaves covering it
From the outside world,
From the devil and beasts.
The house is pretty,
I thought,
But who lives there?
My curiously let me knock
On the door of a stranger,
Someone I did not know.
No one answered.
I saw a sign
And found out that
The house was on sale.
I might ask Mother to buy it,
I thought,
We were looking for a new home.
This might be a great,
New start for me!
(not my favorite one so far… but here goes!)
Rainbow Chasers
Wasted time – chasing rainbows.
Waiting for that
precise moment
when the rain ceases,
and sunlight gleams through.
Wasted time – chasing rainbows.
Take those moments and look
Around
instead of up.
Cluster of bright umbrellas
Parking lot of punch buggies
A sea of flowers blooming
Outside a quiet cottage
Rainbows abound
for those who look
Around
instead of up.
I had an AliceinWonderland vibe going through me:
Time a upon once
i had breakfast for lunch.
in my garden not my home
with a beetle an a gnome
we saw windows looking out
and were surrounded by the sprouts
eating eggs & toast but marmalade the most.
and the roof so bare we did not dare
leave our botanical lair.
It seems like
only yesterday.
Three summer weeks.
A cottage,
outside London.
Oxford. Stratford.
Castles. Trains.
The Tower. Ravens.
And the Thames.
Three roundabouts ‘tween here and there.
Walked first, and planned, ‘fore driven on the left.
We sensed our first was on the way.
in ’97 (B.K.)
The prescient tele on the tube.
The Teletubbies, uh-oh!
(How much we watched it later!)
And Riff Raff’s Crystal Maze,
enthralled.
Before Survivor changed it all.
It seems like
only yesterday.
Three summer weeks.
A cottage,
outside London.
