Our poet today, Colin Hopkirk, sees that once there was a house. It could have been in Palestine. Or in Israel. There was a family – where are they now in this new year of continuing war? It is Day 764 of the Daily Poems.
There was a house
with a little land
an outbuilding or two
a small orchard
a handful of fig trees
a few vines
some hens
a goat or two
and a family
all in one place
Colin Hopkirk
