for early settlers and convicts

a different story

Thursday Doors

 

this is my house

you have to get past me

to enter

i don't like visitors

unless

you are bearing  gifts

of expensive seafood

you can't come in

if you own dogs

if you don't bring

fresh salmon

if you don't obey

cats

Thursday Doors

surprised they still exist in our

 destructive war torn  world

ornate

over the top

no understatement here

dizzying curves 

dazzling

inspired

by sangria afternoons

 

 

a jack daniel's afternoon

can make a mural

look real

poor guys can't fathom

why they are unable

to get on the train 

sampling all the beers

at lunch

maybe a contributing

factor

CINQUAIN

CINQUAIN

its spring

furs packed away

bring out the summer frocks

time for the wide brim panama

straw hats
