Poetry Corner: House For Sale

By Richard Wallace

House for sale,

looks like bad news

coming down the street again,

just when I made a friend.

I should have known

it wouldn’t last.

*****

House for sale,

memories in boxes,

that’s the hardest part.

Which one would hold my heart?

It would be that one marked

fragile,

that’s for sure.

*****

A mum and dad

so very sad,

children crying in their bedrooms

and very sad all day.

It’s a sign that hearts can fail

when you see a sign that says,

“House for Sale”
