House for Sale
House for sale, owner moving on
leaving carpets, curtains, memories.
Memories of love, of a lifetime
of comings and goings, of sadness
of happiness, of friendships, of loss,
of inspiration and desperation.
House for sale, owner moving on.
Time to reassess, readjust, replay
the years lived under this roof.
Time to remember the changes,
the good times, the bad times, all
times of learning, of loving, leaving.
Time to let go, with no regrets.
House for sale, owner moving on.

In addition to Open Mouse, poems have appeared in a variety of publications such as Southlight, Markings, Fankle and editions of Indigo Dream Dawntreader & Heart Shoots. Two short plays directed by Jacquie Crago have been performed at The Swallow Theatre. Currently working on compiling a collection of poems and writing a longer play while wishing the days were twice as long!

Thanks! I think there might be a few more poems written before the house is sold ….
