The Lonely Cabin

The lonely cabin I knocked on the door of the small cottage the window steamed up I drew a childish picture faces of children, that when the sun came erased the drawings and, I thought of childhood. My brother had lived here, his children refused gave the cottage to be a gesture of goodwill. I knocked on the door; it fell in a cloud of dust the cabin was empty a floorboard creaked in pain unused being walked on. I turned to leave, the door arose and blocked my way I promised the cottage, a man from the village will come and paint inside and outside I will move in here with my dog. The cottage relented, door and window opened letting in fresh air and sunlight.

Hello Ian. Nice to meet you through this memorable story sonnet. I so like sonnets. Here your pen is special, finely handling its task in a smooth flow of rhythm carrying the dramatic details. I’m eager to read more of your work. Good day!
