Today the prompt was to fill in 'almanac questions' and write about one or more answers.
Low white, or greying stone, squat
Upon the green grass, sheep dotted
And lonely, with a rising curlew's cry.
Slate, and chimneyed, roof, strong
Against the seaborne wind, and
Beaten painted wooden door, closed
Against the driving rain.
Deep windows old behind them
The secrets of long life, and a
History that does not hide
Many skeletons, or keep the treasure
Of memory in a locked kist.
