this little minnow
nestled amongst
the mc mansion sharks
is the last of its kind
on the bay
the house that time forgot
the sweet unpretentious owner
cannot be seduced
by the offer of squillions
she is staying
she likes her home
she is not selling
any time soon
met her this afternoon
she's a pleasant surprise
a breath of fresh air
a reassuring reminder of
how things were once
in a gentler era
a little house
in the shade of mcmansions
unassuming gem
Haiku Horizons
Delightfully painted.
