The Potting Shed by Sharmagne Leland-St. John after the oil painting "Sweet Pea" by Carmen Drake Gordon Shadows deep and grey Terracotta flower pot Shelter from the cold What's a mouse to do Winter's wind is wild and harsh Not to mention rain Or the thought of snow It saturated my old home No place left to go I'm hungry and tired Sweet peas are my favourite meal Cosmos for dessert I slipped through a crack took refuge inside this shed made a little bed to keep myself warm I supped on sunflower seeds drifted off to sleep I love my new home It's the one I know I'll keep Sweet dreams of Springtime
