The Old Dilapidated Mansion

The old dilapidated mansion
in the woods
sometimes it beckoned me
in lonely hours.
I love to visit it
in a fine weather
sit on the stairs of its portico
and ponder
how it liked
in its heydays long past.
I might not be allowed then
to visit its premises.

Thank you for sharing your poem. l love old buildings. l once just could'nt resist to go and look through the windows of a very old large building in a small village in Scotland that was boarded up. It turned out to be a Victorian bathhouse with beautiful iron decor. l guess the villagers couldnt bare to pull it down. Have a great weekend.J
