Cozy Poetic Asides

 Coziness and Curiosity

 

A red, cozy, country cottage,

a foreground of green grass

between it and the road.

Behind it a tall forest

gradually rising to a steep hill.

 

And though that scene

contains mountains

of childhood memories,

I couldn’t tell you

what lies beyond that hill.

 

And I wonder if the coziness

outweighed my curiosity.
