Vacancies Available....

Blades of grass have overgrown like multipliers from wild seed yonder vacant lot once owned forgotten now no more in need Time well spent in distant past patrons all in manicured cultivation just a passing fad that didn't last left now in limbo's gripped starvation Signage offer announcement avail broken value now a tough sale how grand the structure must've been abandoned now too dusty winds Another form may grace it's space given time strategic trace...but, for now sit's idyll awaiting anew cleanup soon in time is due.....

What an awesome picture you pain here, I am fascinated with old, abandoned homes, the history, the stories they hold within their ragged window curtains...loved this poem! So good to read you again! Kristin

Hey there Jay. It's nice toread your work again. When I read this I think of a lot I saw in Baltimore near my brothers home. Just waiting to be rebuilt/reborn. Very well done. My best, Charlie

Hey Jaybird. I have a very clear picture of an overgrown lot, with maybe an old broken down house, which somehow, through your words, paint a beautiful picture with a story left to our imagination behind it. Not sure if there is symbolic meaning here or not, but it is quite an excellent write. Love, gnocchi
