This Old House by Jimmy Brown

Missed Connections in Portland, OR
we knew it was home when we saw it,
historic charmer on 1.5 acres needs tlc,
we made it how we decided to,
though it took 12 years,
and now every morning we walk the dogs along the riverfront front sipping our coffee,
it took some hard work and time to get here,
which makes it taste so much sweeter.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Jimmy Brown’s “This Old House” is both enchanting and intriguing. I found myself wanting to look at it in even greater detail – peering into windows and pushing back the overgrowth. Perhaps our Portland poet saw something similar 12 years ago. Isn’t it satisfying when you can identify and release the beauty in something that isn’t immediately apparent?
wow i just love it infect i have never heard of these word too lovely
