    Lonely House on Top of the Hill

     Dandelions cover her large bare breast
    burned ashes spell out abandon
    I imagine the rich soil and milky water underneath
    promise a dream garden

    Broken lock on the front gate
    allow graffiti
    trespassing
    vandalizing

    Lonely house stands on top of the hill
    shivering her ghostly body
    withdrawing into mystery
    I hear windy crying

    again, beautiful imagery. it really ties the reader in, or at least me, to where I feel a small pulling inside, a need to do soemthing about it...funny.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
