Notes About The Poem

What happened to the place

I resided there once
I returned to find it derelict 
Looks like a horror scene
Spiders spun webs
Doors locks blown off
Leaves placed as if arranged evilly
When I was there
I remember it serene 
Well cared for secure place to live
Warm and tranquil
What have you done to the place

Wow! I went to my old neighborhood after years…the road was all broken up…and where was the lake. I asked someone..came to find out he owned it and after years decided to fence it in. Like “Back to the Future”
