Just got back to internet connectivity, but I have been writing constantly for the last six hours. Here is the first one, penned down as I wandered in Anne Hathaway’s cottage in Stratford upon Avon. The words in brackets are things I accidentally missed out in my haste to write, but I did not want to cheat either.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The bus halts and I wake up to see<\/p>\n
The last surviving Tudor cottages<\/p>\n
Dark wood on white stone<\/p>\n
With thatched roofs and no chimneys<\/p>\n
In one of these, there stayed a young shepherdess<\/p>\n
Beautiful no doubt, with a modest upbringing<\/p>\n
In a thatched roof [topped] black and white house<\/p>\n
With two rooms, a garden ad a brick lane path<\/p>\n
Where her poet lover trekked up everyday<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, in anticipation of a warm kitchen with a candlelit supper and what naturally ensued thereafter<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standing in that kitchen, I see a grandfather clock<\/p>\n
Frozen in time.<\/p>\n
I rub my eyes<\/p>\n
Did I wake up or am I in a rustic dream?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then I walk into a garden and see a Pokemon Hunt sign<\/p>\n
And I know I am far from the love of times past<\/p>\n
