Sense Sonnet - Acher

In Water's Way

It was my dream house that I built,
Perched so proud on the river bank.
I won't cry over rain that spilt,
Or curse lots of blankety blank.
I always knew there was the chance
That the water would take away
The wood and welcome of my manse,
But hopefully, just not today.
Then that day of reckoning came.
Heavens opened, the river rose.
I felt a sadness, but no blame,
As the final chapter did close.

A big splash, and that's all she wrote.
Down the river, my home did float.
