a building blueprint
here in corner,
facing east, dig up dirt
whale-width, length
of yellow submarine
pile sands and silt
layer walls honey-burnt
by bees, and floors
sea-tiled, cool grass on feet
roof, tumbleweeds
piled high like warm pancakes
with fresh butter-
our hands itch for books, pen
build me sunrooms
at every nook- there, here
where light brims pool
of spring blooms, shrubs, herbs, greens-
At late moonrise
Under the cupid's bow,
I raise my glass
wine toast for you & me

I love both all the greenery and the toast to that someone special... a great house to live in.
ReplyDeleteEvery nook becoming serene sure is a great scene
ReplyDeleteI have seen houses like this in Santa Fe, where endless sunshine supports the design. This certainly is a fun prompt.
ReplyDeleteIs that a blueprint for a blue whale, Grace? I love that it's the length of a yellow submarine!
ReplyDeleteI like that it is also the length of the yellow submarine. I tell everyone our house is the length of the Red October. Such friendly and warm descriptions in this.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kind of place too :)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of all the vegetation and the walls made by bees.
ReplyDeleteWhale width and yellow submarine length - what a perfect blueprint!

I want sea-tiled floors, and tumbleweed piled like pancakes. You have built a beauty, Grace. Thanks!
