"Everything happens for a reason"


Memories packed away

Unfold

Only to slip away with the wind

Leaving behind a skeleton

That mourns for what it once held

So there it stands

Alone

Watching silently as time passes


The author's comments:

This was my first piece in my English class this year (10th grade). We were doing little drafts of poems to see how we put descriptive words/phrases together. We were given the prompt "An Abandoned House" but nothing more than that. I was asked if I related to the way I wrote my poem and I answered no, but truthfully, I do.
