Cellar door is supposed to be one of the most beautiful
phrases in the English language.
Hymn to Cellar Door
Oh cellar-door;
Such raised beauty rarely spoken;
You are the praise
That holds our gaze.
Oh cellar-door,
You will always be there;
When all the other
Word towers get razed.
Susan Jarvis
Only you could write such a special tribute in honour of the cellar-door. You have an enviable eye for the unusual angle, and I adore your closing line. For me, 'cellar-door' conjures something a little more macabre...what an inspiration you are. :)

my imagination loved this poem and wondered what was on the other side of the cellar door.....?....my memory kicked in and thought about my career as a "door seller".....and brought me a much needed laugh at myself....and I have you to thank for it....*smile*
