Poetry Prompt of the Week: Write a poem about your house (or a house you want). Do you like it? Love it? Hate it? Does it hate you?
My House by Jamie DeBree
Four green walls,
Three more for the garage,
A boundary between me and the world.
Fifties-style plan,
Four bedrooms if you squint,
Not nearly enough outlets for modern life.
Two plain bathrooms,
One in serious need of repair,
And a galley kitchen perfect for my needs.
Three picture windows,
Two fireplaces — one with stove,
An unassuming place to rest and play.
Imperfections are varied,
but it’s a good little house,
At least until another compels us to move.
