Perfectly Formed

Perfectly formed in a challenging terrain,
low and squat they lie and ever-ready
to shrug off Hebridean wind and rain
with weathered roofs and walls rock-steady.
In days of yore, a refuge from the storm,
now picturesque, and just a bit forlorn.

I dig the rhythm of this piece. It's almost musical but then we all know song lyrics and poetry are not the same thing unless you're Bob Dylan. Thanks for sharing.................peace!
