I had such a sad feeling for that old tree, you have expressed well that feeling..indeed there is the thought that in the abandoned building there may be some thing else hiding!
I enjoyed reading this well written Sonnet, it was my pleasure..
Warmly,
Victoria

Comment from Sararb
Remnants of the past. This was a fun read, It flowed so well, with rhyming words falling naturally in place. An old abandoned house that once housed a family, if only this old house could talk it could tell you a lot of happenings inside the walls of this place someone once called home. Sara :)

Thank you Sara. Yes, exactly. That's the feeling it conveyed to me.
Comment from Nottoway
A great poem! Great thoughts about who once lived there and makes one wonder what happened to them. The Christmas tree and the items found, behind the door, are all great metaphors for what may have happened.

Thank you Nottoway. You never know what might turn up.

Growing up in VA during the 1960s there were a few old houses just like the one you wrote about. Sometimes, as we went through them, there would be old magazines or books from 20-30 years before. I would be the only member of my family who treasured those magazines and books. Lots of stories about Europe in the magazines. Little did I know that during the 1980s I would be in Paris, Amsterdam and other places. Have a good day.
Comment from Capricorn30
Abandoned buildings possess a rich history, each telling a story in their forlorn state of hopelessness;
Good visual images you provide as the sentimental feeling of Christmas is expressed in the sentiments of a house no longer a home.
Excellent!

Thanks Indie. One of many. I got censored too yesterday.I posted a request to ask if anyone would be kind enough to review a list of 12 poems I was sitting at 13 or 14 reviews on, so I wouldn't have to spend and another $6.63 each to add another certificate on. I was annoyed that I'd spent my $9.93 and six or seven pumps on each when they expired just before being "recognized. I guess it's against the rules to ask for recommendations and I was asked to delete it from my profile comments. I didn't think that was unreasonable, but they want me to pay for another certificate, I guess.
-
mm, hardly unreasonable my friend. I will check them out to see if there are any I have missed. I guess probably not, but let me know if you know of one I have missed.

Highly u likely. You always had me covered.
Comment from Cry the Vile Rebel
The photo itself is lovely. It runs perfect complement next to your poem. My favorite line: A family lived, laughed, and paid the rent. That one line sums up the package nicely. How often do we take the time to really think what is, what was or what will be behind those broken windows we pass? How often do we even pause long enough to look up and notice such things during our hurried days? Thank you for that pause.

Thank you very much Cry the Vile Rebel. Interesting name you have. Very intriguing. Thank you for visiting and your expressive comments. I appreciate their value.

It's actually an anagram of my real life name. I am actually intrigued by your pen name as it bears a resemblance to a family name.
Comment from Preston McWhorter
This is an excellent poem. It has excellent rhyme and rhythm.
It follows a rhyme scheme and uses figurative language. It uses imagery to impart a mood of sadness. I enjoyed reading this poem

Comment from Flamingbush
Very good. You do a great job exploring the questions behind the Christmas tree needles. The descriptions are very clever, as are the rhymes.
the ghost of former Christmas reverie.
forgotten and forlorn, in lone abandoned corner, dark and dim...
its broken limbs that were no longer trim.
a clip that once held an ornament... a family once lived, laughed, and paid the rent.
Great stuff!

Nice creative write Tom and one in which you could easily get lost. I wonder, were there more clues in this ghostly scenario? Great write you.
