Prompt #14.
Write a poem about what you view from a window or what looking out from a window means to you.

From a Living Room Window

Looking down from a birds eye view
A house on each corner of the block
Two empty lots on each side of houses
One divided by a lilac hedge
From a gardener 's toil many years ago
The quail have taken up residency
Under the shrubs of the lilac hedge
All's quiet in the still of the winter
Adult quails scampering to and fro
For grubs to feed their young
When the snow melts to the earth barren spots

Other lot with grassy weeds, bolders and such
A 45 foot tall blue spruce, walnut and a hazel nut tree
Lines the property separating the empty lot
From an old abandoned house on the corner
Due for demolition in the spring
To became one with

The other lot all carefully marked for
Garden plots, soil turned well defined rows
Show little ditches in the snowy outline
Can hardly wait for spring
A community garden will be born

Have to sign up for a garden plot
What will I grow?
Shrubs of flora of course!
Looking down from a birds eye view
As the years, pass by no eye sore
Will be seen but a gardner's touch!
