In a place not too far from here <br />there was an old abandoned house <br />it was big and majestic to view <br />free from insects and louse <br /> <br />People came and people went <br />The house was happy as can be <br />Then some kids wanting some fun <br />said 'this house is haunted' cant you see? <br /> <br />This rumor spread like wild fire <br />and the house was very sad <br />for that meant it would be alone <br />this made it feel bad <br /> <br />That remark made by these kids <br />had ruined its pride and joy <br />Just because of a false statement <br />made by a naughty boy <br /> <br />Within no time the whole town knew <br />and the house was upset, it grew pale <br />It lost its color and smile <br />Its walls grew black, carpets grew stale <br /> <br />All it wanted was the warmth of people <br />To come, live and stay within <br />For years none came <br />And its sadness was up to the brim <br /> <br />'Alas' it mourned, 'no one will come' <br />So he thought and so he cried <br />Then came a family in need of a house <br />the endless tears started to dry <br /> <br />within days, the house grew stronger <br />It regained its joy and its color <br />For now within its walls he had <br />A loving family to care for <br /> <br />Rishi Menon,13 years.<br /><br />Rishi Menon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haunted-house-4/
