Best Manor Poems

Within the Craigie Mile a manor house stands
Under sheeted rain and surrounded by shrouding fog
One night as Hell sang in the sky
A lady did run along the Craigie mile
Where she was she had no clue
The fog was so thick it shrouded all
She was a bedraggled...

My car ran out of gas. I found myself
alone and walking down an unknown road.
I looked to find a house where I might stop
to call someone and then get my car towed.

The first house I could find was very big.
It was a manor, but it...

By invitation from a trusted friend, 
a medium intervention took place and I went.
The building set in the thick forest by a shimmering lake,
some broken sheds looking sad and strange to take.
Weeded and worn the manor house thatch,
a frail welcome and the oil lamp in...

Peonies, lavenders, cherry trees
Clef romancing Pachelbel's Canon behind the emerald maze
Summer breeze Tudor breathe
Vavasour Anne, hail thy Lady!
Homecoming carrage drove by quiet road, thus awakens
Ghouls, spirits, elves, butterflies
Celebrating Hazlewood
For thy Lady hath returned....

To a Manor Born   

An umbrella is a shield against the mighty storm
Denoted years ago, as one who was to a manor born

Class distinction was its task beside the obvious need
In Asia showed the authority of the shaded head

The person was thought to...

Limerick : Once a tipsy Lord of the Manor

Once a tipsy Lord of the Manor
Took leash to be led by Labrador:
His Lady called him back -
Tied the tail on its back
But the dog turned tail behind the door.

In a peculiar puny town nestled in western Massachusetts,
There lives an enchanted mansion in the Wilbraham woods,
Hidden in the hills away from the eastern city's pollutants,
Where the creme de la creme masquerades in cowled hoods.

Around the mansion there lives but only one kind of tree:
The...

OLD MANOR 
THE NEW ONE

Prometheus bound out the heavens
to strike fear in the hearts of men and women
reminding us mortals how like oxen yoked
(together via a wooden beam forced
to undergo strenuous labor)
unlike most elderly residents here
at Highland Manor Apartments
whose arising out of bed exertion
tuckers sexagenarians,...

Few tears were shed when news arrived
that Lord Trevelyan had died.
One solitary wreath was laid
as shallow, feigned respects were paid.

Remote and sullen, he'd disdained
each hand of friendship, and remained
throughout his life a bitter soul
with whom no person could condole.

His lavish mansion towered still
above the village,...

The gray clouds hovered heavy with cold rain,
it was plain and it pained me; I have to run
to an abandoned and boarded up spooky old manor. 
A whisper told me it was a kooky idea with my fate,
but I couldn't complain. 

A flash of lightning...

I was a wayward traveler on Interstate 15 (I-15) near Mexico
Traveling at night–Creepy,spooky, eerie on US border in San Diego County 
Tired and sleepy I looked for lodgings, shelter didn't know where to go
Passing motels and hotels stop at this gray and gloomy mansion bounty
Looked...

Haunted House

No mist, no moon, no creepy room
No broken pane, no wicker broom
No portrait eyes that seem to move
No finger nails scratching a groove
No spider dangling on a strand
No creeping of a severed hand
No butler with an evil stare
No creaking door, no flying chair
No howling...

If you're looking for a UNIQUE getaway, now don't laugh
In Nairobi, Kenya, there's a hotel where you can feed giraffes
Through your second floor window
No, I'm not some kind of weirdo
These gentle giants wait to be fed and pose for photographs...
