30/30 National Poetry Month Challenge Continues
#houseiusedtolivein There was a turret With large glass windows Storm and screen inserts A large window In the center I could go out and Sit on the porch roof Bunk beds, Attic So stuffy in summer And freezing cold In winter Froze my glass bottle collection Filled with colored water Blues, reds, pinks From bottles dug From the cistern out back Large porch Perched on cinder block Columns Watching trick or treaters Pass by Wooden house Orange kitchen Fruit border above Pale wood cabinets Wooden mantels And fireplaces long forgotten Pocket doors hidden by paneling The cool room For music practice Refuge from summer heat Fans cool in summer And heater warms only Kitchen as skirt billows Around register Couch for stories at night And the low rumble of thunder Signals rain is near While the train’s sound Rocks the house to sleep
