Secret Window

by JL   May 26, 2006


Behind a dusty bookcase
Covered in cobwebs
Ancient novels of lore

In an abandoned room
Layered in dust
Furniture long since used

Up a creaky staircase
Spiraling around
Steps rotten with mold

Across the desolate room
Ruined from water
Walls stained with grime

In a forgotten house
Crumbling in old age
Secret window remains

    I loved the opening words. I also liked how you kept with the idea. Very mysterious in deed. Deserves nothing but a 5/5 for sure.

    I love this one... The mystery is such a grabbing concept in this poem. Your descriptions are beautifully written. Reminds me of being a kid running round exploring anything that was tattered and ruined :) Great job!!!
