An Old Chimney

It looks dilapidated and alone On luscious greenland All that is left is a brick chimney Of a house once so grand Bricks laid hundreds of years ago Now lay scattered on the ground Yet the chimney still stands strong and proud With fallen house remnants all around Such raw beauty is that old chimney From a once beloved home Memories and that old chimney Is all that lives there now silent and alone!

A thoughtful poem, my friend. There's something about things and people that have been around awhile and seen a lot of life. Something regal, something that almost demands respect and thought. Irey at times, I guess? Bill

Nice reminder of those scenes, a chimney standing alone. What story happened here? Elizabeth

Curious about what was lost in a house that had a chimney so well built. Hugs.

The chimney esp on the gable end is usually the last part to collapse in an old derelict building, a testament to how well constructed they were, just like your poem here Deb, wonderful pensive writing, cheers David
