Time passes by
And the winds change
Autumn has brought
Browning leaves
Sweeping silently
Under the door
Of an empty house
For years gone
It has stood alone
The pungent smell
Of times past
The faintest sounds
Of musical notes
The leaves settle
Upon a page
That once painted
Beethovens fourth
Over the years
The ink has remained
In hopes of
Again being played

Excellent Emotion
Beautiful emotions brought fourth by beautiful words. This poem flows ever so gracefully, and is well versed.
My favorite lines:
"For years gone"
"It has stood alone"
"The pungent smell"
"Of times past"
These verses resonate in my mind over and over as I reflect on this piece. Excellent Write!!!
Hope to hear from you.

Thank you for entering.
Time moves on, no matter what changes; there are still echoes of special moments that once bought delight to the heart, soul and mind. You have captured the essence of the graphic you were given to write from very well.
Well done and best wishes for the contest

I like the title kinda haunting and the introduction keeps this mood going. Very nicely penned. Great imagery that vividly portrays the picture I see forming in my mind. I feel the past of the house a type of spirit flowing as your lines unfold beautifully my attention is held to the ending .... with my lingering thought of a sad house left to fall into disrepair but wanting to be filled with life. Thank you for the pleasure .... brilliant.
