Vacancy

Herein lies a vacancy,
in which there is no sign.
When has someone lived there?
I can't remember the last time.

The curb appeal is stunning.
Manicured, is the lawn.
I hear the lease is long term,
likely why more aren't drawn.

You can peek inside a moment,
just to get a glance.
Most get tired of waiting,
to meet the owner just by chance.

She says she wants it rented,
that doesn't seem to be the case.
How's it possible to fill a vacancy,
from an owner you have to chase?

This was a very good poem, and it left us with a very good question.
There is a mysteriousness around what you are saying here, especially about the owner.

Thank you for the review Wesley :)
I am a mystery to myself at times. I think as people accepting and loving that removes the burden of expecting others to decode our behaviour and allows us to instead self reflect

[Wesley Dingler]

I agree. I love esoteric, and I prefer allusions to direct insults. And you did a wonderful job here, my lady.
Keep writing it up.

Acutely drawn, liberally worded. Beckoning. Beckoning peeps into a woman's thoughts, put in such a slick metaphorical way.. Some clever touches, let's say, neat as neat can be.. Hope the chase comes to a skid, halt and a lot of smiles - some time, in your chosen time!

Nice analogy. Manicured lawn line a little cheeky.

Thank you so much. I am glad you saw that comment as cheeky, it was untended initially but reread it and I thought, 'Haha perfect!'

I take this to be a heart once broken now fearful of giving itself over again not willing to relive the hurt.
Now you're either reading this thinking "he got it "or "what a knob that English fella is. "
Either way I enjoyed

[Wendy Sue]

You completely 'got it' Gee.
So put together on the outside, well enough to look the part of wanting companionship, but then when the possibility presents itself....**poof** Where did they go?
Thank you for your review 😊

A pleasure...
