Mitcheltown School

Mitcheltown School
Quiet, grey, still and cool
With guilt broken windows
Like a disowned parent.
A still-yet reigning authority
Drifts over the floating fortress
Skyward bound
surrounded by haughty birds
Commenting on vain imaginations
Of children playing
In a siging wind.

About this poem:

It was an old closed school up a long steep driveway with a huge concrete playground. It was also surrounded by a pine tree forest. We used to play there as children.
