This House


This House

 


Clouds are weeping at my door,

puddles tearfully trickle in

moonlight falls, whisper thin.

 

Shingles chatter on the roof,

winter sends her lonely kiss

restless winds, a soulful hiss.

 

Tousled twigs caress the windows,

shattered leaves sorrow down

willows writhe, orchids frown.

 

Shutters sigh outside these walls,

thunder moans in evening gloom

wilted love, she cannot bloom.

After A 7th Read

I am in awe of the tactile qualities of the imagery. Chattering roof shingles are especially emotion reaping. The isolation, the wind against the house's pieces. Marvelous to read and re-read. I am awed once again - Wichahpi Sioux For Star
