Poetry Challenge
The challenge for April 5 was to write about a landmark, famous or otherwise. I've chosen to write about local landmarks in a slightly colloquial framework.
EASY ENOUGH
It's easy to find,
turn left at the water tower,
right at the old armory,
sixteen miles out you'll see
a house with a slate roof,
says in the slate, 1847,
just .3 miles from there's
a red barn with
weathercock,
make a left just past that barn,
there's a stone house at the corner
peeking through overgrown shrubs,
might not be able to see it,
used to be a great landmark
back when the old folks was living,
Missrus Pence kept a mighty fine garden,
anyhow, turn left there,
we're the third drive on the right,
got a purple clematis climbing the mailbox,
end of the drive,
you can't miss it.
