Okay,
So I'm breaking the rules here,
Meandering in this room of the house
With my poetry (if we can call it that),
But I wanted to ponder my existence here.
Once I knocked ever so slightly
While I watched people
Through through the windows
Galavant around
Like they were having a poetic slumber party,
Tentatively I turned the knob
When I heard a cry of welcome,
And gradually I became comfortable.
As this new family grew increasingly familiar,
And boundlessly willing to stretch and hand or two
Of kind words,
I grew...
Now
It looks like they created a monster (if you want to get cliche about it),
And although the walls have gone up elsewhere,
And people have drifted away from the family,
I still believe we're all connected.
Its nice to have friends I don't see daily.
It makes me appreciate them more,
And makes me take them for granted less.



 Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"

It gets bigger and bigger with each passing day, doesn't it?! Mind boggling! But it still remains such a friendly place, I think. I love meandering through all the rooms!

How totally sweet Temptress.
Well I am kind a new, but
have found a niche in here
so I can read the poetry on
the walls.

Temptress~
Howdy !
Come on in ... doors always open.
It is without a doubt the friendliest house on the block.

Enjoyed your meandering.
