The man was sturdy
To have been able to lift the firewood
He was careful of his belongings
Says the locked shed along with the hidden one
The dented mailbox with mail still left
Means he left too quickly
A woman was present in this place
Says the flower beds left to grow
She admired beautiful things
Speaks the floral tablecloth and bouquet on the table
The clothes line, left broken and decayed
Shows she had other occupants at one time
The old and rusty wagon
Shows a child was around
Along with the faded chalk drawing
They've been gone for awhile
States the dusty car with the license plate expired Sept. 2009
They didn't plan to leave
Speaks the belongings left behind
For relatives to remember them by
The ones who were left behind
Like the child with the wagon

Poem explanation: During school our English teacher took us to an abandoned home where we were to write a poem about it. We were also told to predict what happened to the family, as everything was still left where it was when they were there. I hope you enjoyed this neat little poem as much I did writing it :)
