The Sun Rested On Western Slopes

Three storey Queen Anne  house
set  far  back  behind green yards
With far reaching sparkling  views
Profusion of flora fruit-laden vines
Chickens clucking near front gate
Polished wood with leaded glass
Double doors powdered  gauzed
Elaborate  deep  wine  wallpaper 
Delicate  face  framed  in red hair
Highlights  vermillion green  eyes
High waisted muslin gown  flows
French  words  rolled out  lyrically 
Perfumed with  blooming flowers
Clever cat buried in feather down
Favorite  spot  ancient  tree  trunk
