home - shortest five minute friday writing ever, i bet

okay. i'm linking up with a blog called the gypsy mama for five minute friday. lisa-jo offers a prompt and writers take five minutes to respond. i've been afraid of this as sometimes my ideas come quickly, but more often than not, i spend a couple of hours on ten lines. so, you might get another haiku! this week's prompt is home.

start:

square logs
hand-hewn from our mountain's trees
her offering
to the wide-eyed, idealistic
young couple
who sketched it out
and watched it grow
thirteen years
and the logs stand strong
enveloping a family -
home within home

stop.

  3. Nicely done. I love the image of the logs enveloping your family. Through your words, I see them standing with strength and love, protecting you from harm.

  6. Your home is so perfect. It fits you. I've been seeing gypsy momma's five minute fridays all over. I may give it a try!

    As for my new comment system. . .it is intense debate, and we aren't on real friendly terms either. Too often when I try to respond to a comment or add an additional comment, I get the spinny circle and then get booted off. I will say that I love the email alerts and easy access to people's email. Installing it erased all previous comments though.
