Show me an outline

of a farm

where people wish to live

perhaps in a

nectar of woods

comforted by spruce,

and a hill crowding an

old barn --

 

a home ready for

laughter, with children

and chickens.

 

Show me lots of space --

horses prancing at freedom

in green pastures,

a gravel road

with baby blue above 

 

and colours that capture

autumn emotion,

calico leaves dropping by.

 

Closing my eyes I see.

A perfectly understated poem, brilliantly executed.

Merci bien, Tina. As I gain older years, I crave to move to such a place, from my apt, to the edge of woods where the wind and sun wrestle for my attention. Cheers.
