Abandoned
(Free Rhyme Quatrain)
by, Hugh A Tague
Crops and flowers no longer flourish here windows boarded up no one to look out sounds of children playing heard never more no neighbors to stop and knock at the door. Once rich and fertile land now lies barren no life dwells as far as the eye can see no animals nor ox to pull a plow four walls and a roof are all that’s left now. Standing alone surrounded by nothing for all that once was is now abandoned sky dark as night though it’s only midday no color to be seen just shades of gray. Wind blows dust across the desolate fields ominous grey clouds take over the sky life giving rains are too little too late forsaken forever is this land’s fate. For all that once was is now abandoned sounds of children playing heard never more windows boarded up no one to look out four walls and a roof are all that’s left now
