Living in communities wouldn't be bad if you had good neighbors. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.

Comment from Cindy Warren
My sympathies are with you. I have some experience with horrible neighbors. I had some next door in my condo. I was so happy when they moved out, I'd have been doing backflips, if I still could. Good luck to you.

Thanks Cindy n9ot sure we have met yet. It was looking good as you saw but now we are back to square or queer again. I love our new fence just hate we had to 0pay for it completely but we live in hope still! I am resting in what the Bible says "Avenge not surselves....Vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord!" And this also applies in another case of being ripped off as well.Thanks again.

this is very well written, sankey, i'm glad your neighbors decided to be better, at least i'm hoping that it stays that way. with the triple spacing I had to keep moving the page down.

Comment from Acquired Taste
This did end up reasonably - moreso than I anticipated. It read pretty well - I personally had a lot of difficulty with so many blank spaces between lines. Perhaps shortening that up next time would be helpful.
Other than the formatting difficulties, nice work. AT=/

Comment from Gypsy Starchild
If the strung out spacing were not so annoying this would read smoothly... it is well written, but the exaggerated spacing of your lines makes it uncomfortable to read.
*update- Much, much better. :)

Comment from abbasjoy
This is kind of funny. Just when you began to think these neighbours weren't quite so creepy, they turned out to be liars and fraudsters. What's going on?
Having put out the money, I hope you will recoup the half that they should have paid.
In this case, it seems you need "to judge a book by its cover."

Yeah well we have been bothered as the previous verses say by these people for years I mean they even gave the tenants renting the house from the Vendor a hard time about moving out sooner. The woman as stated has turned out to be a real fake and liar. Will fix the spacing as some others have commented. Thanks again.

It looks great. I guess it was because of the maintenance that was going on with the site yesterday. Some funny things were happening with the posts.

This is a lovely poem. I've had my share of "creepy neighbors." Your word choice paints a vivid picture for the reader.

Comment from califdot
What a great poem. I like your rhyme throughout and the cadence is good. We have had problems with neighbors and what you have written can be written exactly the same for some of our neighbors that we have encountered over the years. You draw a great picture and use good imagery. I like your use of the Bible verse, and it is true that "men loved darkness rather than light." That is a true statement of the past, present and the future, until Lord comes again. Congratulations on your rewards. It is really a good poem.

Thanks very much for a great review. Don't think we have met before unless you are a friend who has not fessed up as I have invited some friends to join FS to read my stuff.
-
No, unfortunately I do not know you personally. Perhaps we will get to know one another on FS. You are quite welcome.
-
Thanks again for coming back so glad to find a number of folks of "like precious faith" in FS. See you around.
