Jay Del Fierro Poet Free verse

Vacancies Available....

Blades of grass have overgrown
like multipliers from wild seed
yonder vacant lot once owned
forgotten now no more in need

Time well spent in distant past
patrons all in manicured cultivation
just a passing fad that didn't last
left now in limbo's gripped starvation

Signage offer announcement avail
broken value now a tough sale
how grand the structure must've been
abandoned now too dusty winds

Another form may grace it's space
given time strategic trace...but,
for now sit's idyll awaiting anew
cleanup soon in time is due.....

Kristin Reynolds July 8, 2008 at 4:15 AM What an awesome picture you pain here, I am fascinated with old, abandoned homes, the history, the stories they hold within their ragged window curtains...loved this poem! So good to read you again! Kristin

Charles Fuller July 7, 2008 at 7:58 AM Hey there Jay. It's nice toread your work again. When I read this I think of a lot I saw in Baltimore near my brothers home. Just waiting to be rebuilt/reborn. Very well done. My best, Charlie

Sharon Winter July 7, 2008 at 7:39 AM Hey Jaybird. I have a very clear picture of an overgrown lot, with maybe an old broken down house, which somehow, through your words, paint a beautiful picture with a story left to our imagination behind it. Not sure if there is symbolic meaning here or not, but it is quite an excellent write. Love, gnocchi
