A Peasant's Abode

The cloud spreads over
a humble, humorous hut
built amidst shrubs.

Lone as an island,
guarded by tiny, tall trees
…a peasant’s abode.

Coming home to rest
after the day’s duty, tired
…a famished farmer

Cottage with peasant
coming home with a duty
…hung on his shoulder


the title is ‘Cottage with Peasant Coming Home a painting  by Van Gogh
