The House Beside The Road Poem by Scarlett Treat

The House Beside The Road

Rating: 3.2


The house beside the road,
Where people lived
And children played,
Is empty now
And falling down.

The echos of happy feet
Are heard now,
Tapping to the sound
Of Poppy's fiddle,
But the house beside the road
Is empty.

When a gentle voice
Is heard in the house,
It's only a singing breeze
Sifting itself through
The cracks in the roof of
The house beside the road.

Nice to think we leave a little of ourselves in the fibres, to be wafted around from time to time, and there'll be folk left to pick up on them. Danny
