Cottage on the lake -- Play it Again Challenge

 

Cottage on the Lake

 

A little cottage on the lake

Quiet place I can get away

Draw, write, compose, fly time away

 

Fish in the day and watch for snake

I'll clean my fish then fry and eat

Nature calls, has city life beat

 

Live off the land, a life to make

Rest and peace brings creativeness

Need no more for persuasiveness

 

Watch the stars at night while awake

Listen, their story jot it down

Paint the scenes from my sketches drawn

 

From my small cottage on the lake

I've forgotten business rat race

And done a complete about face  

 

A little cottage on the lake

 Fish in the day and watch for snake

Live off the land, a life to make

Watch the stars at night while awake

From my small cottage on the lake
