Morning Glory Cottage Whose cottage this, that sits alone On country road with fence of stone And climbing vine upon the wall, This place I’d love to call my own? Whose garden fair beneath the sprawl Of giant oak that stretches tall, Creating shade and sheltering, And dappled morning visual? In thought alone I’m entering This paradise, a rendering, A canvas brushed with care and grace, An artist’s gentle offering. This masterpiece has found a place Atop my table’s Irish lace Within my tiny urban space Within my tiny urban space. (Inspired by a Thomas Kinkade print, a birthday gift from my daughter, Caroline.) Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God,but only he who sees takes off his shoes. Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

I'm not much of a Thomas Kinkade fan but if the painting is anywhere near as good as your poem, I think it would be a keeper  Thanks, Pete |

Denise, Wonderful, although I must admit to stumbling a little on "visual" in context. (That's probably just me). Doc |

Thanks, everyone, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it is a beautiful print, can't take my eyes off it, actually! Doc, yeah I guess that's one of those words that can be pronounced slightly differently depending on locale. I like to avoid using those words but don't usually realize a word fits in that category until I use it in a poem and post it on the forums. Thanks for 'Wonderful'! |

I agree, this is exquisite! We'll have to get togather more often, if poet gatherings inspire such writing as this. Truly superb, Denise. I hope to see more of your flawless sonnets. At first I thought this was about Oak Spring, with the oaks, the cottage etc. It could be, because that setting is also a masterpeice (I'm just a little biased of course) Keep it up. This is terrific! Love Liz |

Yes, it does fit Oak Spring too, doesn't it, Elizabeth? The thought did cross my mind when I was writing it. And yes, we do have to get together more often. Inspiration or not, it's just plain FUN!!!  |

How many "f's" does that word have? One? Is that your final answer? Would you like to make a phone call?? This is wonderful, Denise - I'm soooooooo glad to see you post your perfectly visual poem - I guess if your muse can stop by the stream on a spring morn, so can mine... Off to the drawing boards... |
