New Mexico~

Kaolin ceramics shelved for display A framed mirror suggests a window into time Fortifications in a continuum surround this fortress Inside a Southwestern style is secured Bulldozing nature for architectural delight Rich in warm tones and textures of stucco Baroque oval portals lead into substructures Endearing pine stripped.....stained to perfection Strategically placed beamed ceilings finesse Whitewashed antlers hang above a fireplace Not a hunters home but a setting of one once known A water well stands with an antique pump As an unyeilding sun drenches the broken claylike ground Genuinely revealing a life long past In Beautiful New Mexico a Southwestern home is found ~This was inspired by Brian….and his Cameo piece~I hadn't used or seen the word KAOLIN in some time...and it reminded me of the west....hence, I used the word first and went from there~
