Old Is Best....

In every country, you will see fancy

new buildings. With glass, metal,

wood, concrete.

All exotic designs and styles.

From large to small and in-between.

But to me. I love the ones that have

stood the test of time.

The old-fashioned ones with

character and flare.

That is weather-beaten

and different from the rest.

They are majestic and regal

and at other times. Homely

and well worn. But practical

and built to last.

To me, they speak volumes.

i agree 100% ..the whisperings of an abandoned farm stead ..or the crumbling brick of brownstones ...the history of stoops that have heard 10 thousand stories left behind ... i really appreciate this tribute you pay to the old ... i hope you don't mind i am expanding it to include me too ;)))))))))) maybe your buildings are a metaphor and you mean me all along ..old man that i yam!

Not a great fan of new builds myself Dawn... s'pose that's why we love our old cottage built in 1610 so very much...... a very nice and well stated point of view, all wrapped up in a poem, just as it should be.... Neville

Oh Yes our first home was about 300 years old
Thick solid stone walls
Winter gale + inside warm
Hot summer sun = cool inside
Walls to thick to be heard next door

To me that would be heaven. Living in someone so old with such history within it walls. Unlike these modern homes nowadays. So small. The furniture has to made specially to fit inside them. These homes. Have charactor and make statements to me.

I so appreciate your words. I somehow also related it to women, as they age. The wrinkles, imperfections and scars only add dimensions to their beauty. A unique view packaged in a great choice of words!
