Misdeed of the Heart

My neighbor has a "No Trespassing" sign
the police used to be there most of the time

it makes me wonder what somebody did
to convey folks to be unwelcome that he does forbid

he has two children and he's always been gracious
they have lots of toys though their yard is not spacious

he blows things up on The Fourth Of July
a fortune in fireworks that light up the sky

still I do wonder as this poem does depart
is someone to blame for misdeed of the heart

Your neighbour does not seem a bad guy; probably something must have happened to make him beware of people. ~ Regards // paul

We never really know our neighbors, but it riles our curiosity when we see a police car. Nice rhyming.

Thanks Caren. I was a little curious, because they're really nice people

They are not really a family. Neighbors are meant to share. ~~
