The Mill House
Churring wrens flit
Amongst honeysuckles,
Cherry and rowan
berry.
Wailing buzzards and
Crouching rabbits.
The Mill House sits
solid
And low in the valley.
Grey granite and
grits,
Reed thatched roofing,
Cart house and wood
store.
Lineal beds with
beets,
Beans and broccoli,
Creosoted shed,
greenhouse.
Themed rooms and art
works,
Rugged floors and wood
burners,
Solid tables and
covered settees.
Breton furniture and
so solid beams.
Piped music and Sky
Box.
How the artisan’s
house
Has changed to become
The gentrified abode
And rural retreat,
If not, country seat.
Dave Urmston c 2009
