Outside Small, Inside Mondo

Leah's prompt:

My response:

Once I bought a little home,

It didn’t suit me well.

I felt I’d sold my freedom to roam.

My cottage I did sell.

I need to find a house for shell,

Blue shutters upon my back.

Poppies in my window well,

Then nothing shall I lack.

Outside small,

Fat black cat,

Inside mondo,

Shoes on mat.

Until I find a home like that,

I’m good just renting a condo.
