What Fascinates Me- On Seeing a Tiny Door

Who would answer if I knocked?
A little gnome in stripey socks.
Would he call out, “ Who dares to knock.”?
Or sic on me his pet blue fox.

Would it be a lonely hobbit
wearing cobbled boots he wears by habit
and a cobwebbed hat of furry rabbit
Sipping mead from a wobbly goblet?

It doesn’t look like a fairy would
for it isn’t decked how a fairy twould 
with childhood dreams and elfinwood
Convinced I am of the likelihood. 

Who ever lives in this tiny abode 
Their door to the world has long been closed. 
Where a peaceful meadow once outflowed, 
Paved up to the door by a busy road.

HI Paula: Thanks for Your lovely comment. I must admit I didn’t go so far as to knock…..sometimes it is best to keep the mystery. Best, SuZ

A really delightful poem, Suzanne, which I thoroughly enjoyed and could picture myself reading to a child. A child would understand this so much better than we adults!

Suzanne, Simply delightful poem all yours. One that adds to the charm of St. Thomas's Square. A magical quality 'Where a peaceful meadow once outflowed ~~ Paved up to the door by a busy road'. You've quite a keen and imaginative mind. -Richard

Hi Richard: A friend posted this pic on Tapatalk and I was immediately and thankfully inspired. I was beginning to think my imagination was gone. Thanks for cheering me with your thoughtful comment.

Oh, your photo is unique, SuZ. No wonder you want to knock on that door. Progress sometimes neglects the meadows. You gave voice to that unknown within.
