My Old House
by robyn corum
Hello Robyn.
Your house picture reminded me of some of the TVA back in the early thirties. In E. TN some houses were abandoned forcibly and they ended up in the middle of lakes created by early projects. There was an old movie called, "Wild River" 60 years ago. As soon as I saw the picture, that movie popped into my mind.
Your poem is well done and tells the story of your old house very descriptively. The poem is an excellent ekphrastic poem.

Thanks, sweetie. It's funny, I was just telling someone earlier today about a manmade lake near us that was created in just that way. HA! Thanks, friend!

You're welcome. Where I grew up in Appalachia, an entire town was condemned and is at the bottom of a huge lake.
