The House

A random thought of my fiance's house

A house stands

upon a forgotten lane

It's eaves laden

with withered forgotten leaves

 

Alone it stands

Its neighbors gone to dust

With only the vines

and ivy for solace

 

Once a great house it stood

with family and callers

All coming to pay heed

and respect for its grandeur

 

Now it has passed away

Fodder for those to come

as the vines and ivy

reclaim it's lost soul

Love those random thoughts. Sometimes they bring the most endearing poetry.

[Fantasyfairy]

This is haunting and sad. Old houses have an effect though, to think that they were once new and grand, and stood for a family home, and then years later they are left, forgotten. Well written. XX

[Scirrocco]

Very sad when a house loses the life that once gave it light. It just fades away and with it goes everything except the memories of others.

Great writing James!!

[Jd Young]

Wow, this poem was so sad and lonely. You have a great way of telling stories James, I really liked this one. I could never imagine finding a house that was so cold and dark. It reminds me of a house where the people have been murdered. Extremely sad, but you showed great emotion. Job well done!

I bet this sad lonely house has many stories to tell. Nice write.

This has a very sad feel to it....the way you portray its lonliness ect. A wonderful piece of writing!

Houses have a spirit all their own, I believe, despite that they are merely wood and metal and mortar....

Once a house has lost its family, it has lost its lifeforce, and slowly degrades.....it knows.

It rally made me feel sad. You always like to see a house active and warm. the thought of it just sitting void of inhabitants that give it life makes me feel bad for the house.
