I know about a brick house in the countryside...
A picturesque wreck, Rustic by the riverside,
And overgrown shrubs enhance the wildflower lots,
There are no ghosts,
But the windchimes have brought some fraught.
Listen to the wind, Hear echoes from the past boast,
And whistle all you'd like; With or without green grass,
But creep around the wrong way and them floors will sass.
Pump that old well fast for a drink of pure water
And picnic or relax like the world doesn't matter.

Author Notes
National Poetry Writing Month, April 2021, Writing Prompt Day 4 - Write a poem inspired by an odd, in-transition space.
Note: NaPoWriMo recommended a place on Twitter for pix, however, I couldn't pull it up. I just found a place on FanArtReview. My searches were: eerie places, eerie, place. So, my poem probably doesn't meet the requirements for the day. But I don't always have to follow the writing prompts. It's just like a suggestion for starting ground if necessary. It's good that I read the prompts... Otherwise, I'd pump out haiku and tanka poems non-stop because they tend to be simple for me to write. Finally. Hahahahaha.
