Versification day 4

Word: Kaput


She was accompanied by a cloudy weather

As she stared at a dilapidated, old structure

The bungalow she once had called a home

It laid forgotten after the family's departure


The memories of the earthquake were vivid

It had also dragged her parents 6 feet under

As she stood in front of the house now kaput

A tree in the garden was the only remainder


She knew at once that its difficult to live there again

So she walked away, tears falling along with the rain
