Dream House

Is your dream of a house, a place

where in the morning you can step out;

hear birdsong whilst see them feed.

Surrounded by honeysuckle, clematis,

mighty trees.

***

To sit on a bench tucked in between,

have colourful butterflies visit

along with dragonflies.

Filling your senses with peace

before the day begins.

***

If this sounds right for you, please do step in;

Coffee is brewing, you can share with me.

I will show you around,

***

let your feet connect with mighty oak,

sawn and smoothed.

Did you notice the windows

facing the rising sun?

Showing off flowers and shrubs.

***

You now face two wings,

one leading left, one right.

Four bedrooms to the left;

yes, they are big,

Did you notice the bathroom had jacuzzi too?

***

Back we traipse, turn to the right,

then right again. Quirky? I know, that’s what I like.

Through the sunny breakfast room to kitchen,

also lit by the sun

showing off the porcelain tiled floor.

***

By the way, did you notice the brownies?

I baked them myself.

Please help yourself

Back again and there is the lounge

with plenty of books and yes, T.V.

Please do roam around.

***

Next, two steps to the dining room

Looking out over a wooden deck,

steps leading to the lawn.

***

Now my favourite, the Garden Room

always so bright,

views of the garden wrapping itself around,

The house nestling in its heart.

***

Come with me to the secret garden

hidden on the side;

with berries of all kind.

The grape vine is enough for some wine

or just eating as they are.

A little patio with seating to just enjoy.

***

Price:  Oh, better start saving pennies and pounds.

          Meanwhile I have enjoyed having you around.
