The Porch

The Porch, the part of the house

that never gets used.

But when it does, it becomes a wonderful place.

The sun pouring in onto the floor

while the birds sing, and you read along.

The breeze carries the soft sweet scent of lilac under your nose.

Or if you're like Marmie and I, it can become the Nook of Learning.

Where you learn about punctuation, then have a lunch break.

Come back and read about settlers in 1732.
