Old Homeplace

The old, columned front porch is sagging Sad shutters hang on the bias abandoned, Broken panes neglected as weather crept in Still their silent voices call out with warmest hospitality. [Lind30WCU, 7,7,7,9]
FIRST PLACE WINNER Written January 26, 2022 especially for "Lind30WCU Poetry Contest" sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke

Thank you, Caren. I was thinking of the old house where my grandfather and grandmother lived. Sadly, a number of years ago, it burned.
