The house with the straightened wall
Stands proudly
And tall
By the sea
The house with the straightened wall
Contentedly
Waits
For me
The house with the straightened wall
Sees its time
Is soon to
Come
The house with the straightened wall
Joins my whispery
Joyful
Hum

It's Poetry Friday and this is my poem about the house we are renovating, Gull Haven. It sat quite sadly for a number of years, but is now getting new walls, floors, windows, plumbing, electrical, insulation and love. It's been a long process, but it is getting close to the time when we'll be able to stay there at least for a few days at a time. And we'll be there full time when we are both retired.
I posted the first poem here: The House with the Wrinkled Wall. So this one is like a followup poem to the first poem that I wrote in October of 2011 when we first purchased the house. By this October we should be finally finished with all the work there...maybe for this summer even.
