A Home with a View

      I’ve a home with a view
          lawns, bushes trees
      sidewalks, parkways
          an avenue

      I’ve got to tear myself away
          from all that 
      enticing as it may be
          to gape at the clouds 
          framing – and reframing – the world
             about me

A lovely poem, Gershon. Very vibrant imagery. Your home and property sounds charming. I'm starting to get more sensitive to higher temperatures, so I can no longer sit outside for hours on the patio in the summer. I can watch our backyard birds at the bird feeders from the sunroom window year-round. Shalom, good friend. :)

Love this insightful write my friend. Sometimes I miss leaving closer to the city, but not too close. I don't think I can live in a big city but sometimes I think about how it would be like. One thing for sure Gershon I cannot stand rats and that is the biggest reason. I have read so much about them and what they can do and how they attack when cornered and jump and can eat through just about anything. That is the main reason lol. I remember years ago when I was a teenager. I was helping a

Haven't seen a rat since 1971 in Greenwich Village, NYC. It was as big as a dog. Yikes!

a friend of the family he owned a carpet cleaning business. Well on this particular appointment as I was moving a sofa these two rats ran from underneath the sofa into the kitchen where the lady and the owner of the company were talking. She screamed and he practically jumped on her kitchen table. It shocked us all and I will never forget the look on their faces and the schock I got from the whole experience. I feel for people who have rodents in their homes I could not live like that no way no how I would have to move lol.
