the cottage 

dream of youth,


peeling sundown  




firmament, frees  








temperate wind 
















into an afternoon
































of child echoes  
































































chasing seagulls 

edit 2: found the cottage

dream peels sundown 
firmament, releasing 
temperate wind into the
child echoes' afternoon  
of chasing seagulls


edit 1: found the cottage 
 
peeled of sundown  
firmament, the dream  
releases gentle air into  
an afternoon of children 
chasing seagulls 


original: found the cottage 
 
evening firmament is peeled  
from the dream, releasing 
a balmy breeze of afternoon  
that children frolic in, 
chasing seagulls

lovely journey back in time.. nice hint toward a double meaning with "firmament", makes the breeze even more relieving.
(the only place i stumbled was "frolic in". maybe take away the "that" and move "in" to the last line)

Hey Alex, This works pretty well for me. "Frolic" kinda kills it for me, but hey, it's only one word. I feel like you could trim some of the small words and have a rather evocative extended faux-haiku

Ya that's pretty sparse, take what suits your poem.
