Amelia Harmon Poet Verse

Forsaken Home

Tufts of grass peek from between rotten floor boards,
Once shining blue roof tiles now obscured by leaves and debris,
It takes a special kind of eye to see the beauty in a forsaken home.

*4th in "three line poetry" contest*

Casarah Nance March 15, 2015 at 7:58 AM Oh that is cool, I love exploring derelict buildings, your write is awesome I hope it places tops for you! :) Amelia Harmon March 15, 2015 at 8:46 AM Thanks! Wasn't actually brave enough to explore it, so I don't know about the floor boards, but I loved the multicoloured tiled roof! Japanese houses are so cool to begin with!
