Empty Houses

Author: Unknown

Empty hallways ,Dampness giving courage to dark lonliness .Dusty footprints, remnants of happier times. Tree branches scrape the windows, teasingly attempting to enter. A piece of trash flutters around the floor , silently screaming to be noticed . Empty houses where love and laughter once flourished , have now become tombs of despair. Does anyone notice ?

See the positive way from an empty house. Now you can write the poem with it. You may have bored feeling as well when it was still full, and now you have that feeling when its empty and more worse. So time to change and to move on.

Have a nice weekend and keep smile

Hi, snugglyscott,
Empty Houses is well -described by an active mind that notices while the body is still.

Thank you so much for your gracious comments. Perhaps I will spend more time attempting poetry in the future.

lovely poem, keep your mind free, write what you feel, not what you think will please people, i think you will be fine, you are an observer, you can translate feeling to print, that in itself, is freedom.
