Yes! I knew I could depend on you to put a smile on my face...even here at my in-laws!! :) ;) Ugh. ;) But ,this is wonderful! :) Money is definitely no competition for eternity! :) :) I also have to wonder what 'they' were thinking letting the land takeover the house...? :) ;) Thanx for sharing! :) Yvette

Thanks, Yvette.
Comment from judiverse
That place in the picture does not have drive-up appeal. It's overrun with some kind of vines and looks like only ghosts could stand to live there. If the owner cleared away some of that awful mess, potential buyers might be interested. Maybe the ghosts would decide to leave if the place looks too cheery. The owner's other choice is to leave it as is, ghosts and all. If they offer him eternal life, a chance to join them in their nightly appearances, that could be the offer he couldn't refuse. Interesting concept. judi

Looks good in the picture, but I'd wager the smell of rot is engulfing.

Nope, the place wouldn't attract me. judi

You chose a beautiful picture to accompany your poem. I find it interesting that no matter how short of a poem you write you are able to make it funny. Nice job.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Ohhhh, this 5-7-5 has some creepy undertones and eerie implications, Bill.
Maybe the purported seller has become a specter themselves, stuck with the home's ghostly inhabitants forever.

You are the only reviewer to pick up on that, Dean. Thanks for making this house call.

Hi Bill. This is a gorgeous picture and I can just see the the ghosts in the windows there. I imaging old houses like that have many a tale to tell. Good job with this piece. Marilyn

Lol. I thought the permanent residents were the ivy on the house (Virginia creeper?) as they seem like they are there to stay. Ghosts are rather hard to get rid of, I would imagine. Fun 5-7-5.

This sounds like memories are keeping the owner from selling even though he doesn't need all the room. With all the ivy, it seems like it could be a haunted old house.
Keep writing. Happy New Year.

Comment from Cass Carlton
Wow! that is SOME house Eh Bill.! If I had lived in that house all my life I don't think I'd want to leave it once my life was over.The ghosts rule! It is an interesting picture though. There are people by the wall to the right and a motor car parked at the rear of the house . I wonder what they are saying. "No way,mate. The house is haunted. No deal." Or perhaps "Darling it's perfect. The little girl ghost is so sweet.Oh do say yes!" Or perhaps again "Ghosts Huh? Well, they don't scare me at all. Bring 'em on."
This is a very intriguing piece, with food for thought. Well done cheers Cass
