Walls and Walls of Glass

I've been fascinated lately with modern California style houses. Many have lots of glass. I'd like a bedroom with a huge sliding glass wall that opens into nature.

Walls and Walls of Glass

 

Sold our house

Now what will we do?

A month and a half

            to find and move

            to a new house.

 

So many choices

But many just fall through.

Said I’d never again

            buy a fix-r-upper or

            buy one too big.

 

Thinking about

Buying a 1950’s modern.

But they seem to be

            too small or

            need lots of work.

 

I want lots of glass

Walls and walls of glass.

And open spaciousness within

            with stainless steel

            and long wood floors.

 

Bedroom glass doors open

Staying warm by a fire.

And make sweet love

            in the moonlight

            listening to Billy Joel.

 

We sold our house

Buying a 1950’s modern.

Walls and walls of glass

            warm fire burning and

            love in the moonlight.

Dayvid...your poem reminded me of a friend's house in So. California in the a 1960's. Almost all glass, each room provided a fantastic view of the San Gabriel Valley. The bathroom was bigger than some apts. I've lived in. A huge deck in the bedrooms and living room provided such a panoramic view. The hardest job they said was keeping the windows clean.
Cheers,
Dan

There are a few glasshouses out there and I love them. I love light and bringing the outside in. Unfortunately, sunlight fades bright colors on paintings, furniture, and so on… So you have to protect your valuable, colorful things from the sun. Otherwise, that's my idea of beautiful living. I plan to do that soon with a new home that will also be very energy efficient, making use of the sun to heat the house and provide electricity as well as light.
