A Town Mouse in a Country House

Whether
near the square,
set in stone,

 and bejewelled in
 ruby red radiance,

 or stucco clad,

 and accessorized by a
 signature sweet fragrance -
they charm. 

Crowning a hilltop,

overlooking the sea,

tiny, kid-drawn cottages

 bewitch and beckon me.

In the valley below,
 vanilla villas and
 patches of produce
  in bright, veggie green,
  are the perfect ingredients
 of Cretan country cuisine.

Back home,
between the finials
 of the black, iron gate,
this born and bred 
town mouse gazes at
her geographical fate.

Town mouse or country mouse,
a critter needs its house! 

Which one are you?

Thanks for visiting.
Have a lovely weekend.
