I found myself hesitant,
and even a little scared,
entering the hot house from hell,
amongst plants quite absurd,
and yet, entrancingly beautiful
in their unique kind of way,
sat warm Trifid’s aplenty.
in a mesmerist array.
Then back out into tranquillity,
where a heron, quite still,
was clearly spotted at peace.
Oh such a joy, such a thrill,
to walk in the footsteps
of those gone before,
to soak up the ambiance;
please go, I implore.
To read of the children,
who played in the grounds.
To horse ride and fish in
idyllic surrounds,
and reside in a nursery,
that was hard to leave;
The best childhood possible,
they had, I believe.
Winterbourne House,
so superbly maintained,
with past memories intact;
real life in there remained.
Thank you dear Rosie,
these lines I impart,
for sharing the gift,
so very close to your heart.
This gem near the city,
a whole world away,
from the hustle and bustle
I shall return to someday.
