*Image of Best Collapse by Giphy. Pilfered Soulless House Pilfered dawn occasions a soulless house, bruised appeals innocence whilst porch screen once tended, concedes whispers of dust calm quest of quarters, ~~views endured through time. Some non-existent floorboards chanced ferns sprouting rights, roots by an unnerved staircase, challenging few, yon a blurred window, --rooms without a view ~~volumed sights, ventures. Wilt garden fruitless seasons, its gardener enshrined nigh, atop sits scentless plastics, stiffs amidst squeezed breaths constants against a rosette, ~~hugging touched headstone. Tempest strived roof musing o'er wealth perceived themes of swayed hyperboles, midst shared rooms, aroused town's tattlers year-long spread, wanes, delays one closed door, ~~course perused ruins ***porch, ferns, roof, rosette, staircase, window, garden, house, door, whispers 2020 July 13 *1st Place* A BRIAN STRAND your pick ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2021 August 08 *1st Place* Decaying House ~~Constance La France: Judged 2020 July 19
