Very nice, love the last two lines.

You did a good job Liz, love holly

Very cute indeed..stay safe and well sweet lady...Hugs

Nicely done, Liz! Very different from the other poems I've read on this challenge. Love and Hugs~
Sheila

LOLOL! This was fun :)

This is a drama! I hope life in your poetic house soon picks up a more friendly rhythm.

I love it! Held me captive within the walls of this scary house down to the final line! What a great ending! You've made me laugh out loud to myself, well Boomer is resting on the couch...she just gave me her little terrier look....like what's so funny? I read it to her, I think I saw a little canine smile from her too! Enjoyed!
Blessings,

Very good poem. Interesting read.

hee, hee... Having lived on a street where our neighbors watched every move we made, I can totally relate! I found that it is wise to NEVER move in (especially with 12 children) on the same tiny street where the president of the home owner's association lives! NEVER... especially if they have time on their hands....
Sigh...
At least we don't live there anymore!

Enjoyable write.

That was funny, Liz, but it also speaks to me about why I crave my isolation at least a fourth of the time. I recommend you get some guinea fowl as pets. You can always tell the neighbors they flew in from somewhere else--better yet, call your worst neighbor at midnight and ask them why they can't keep the dam guineas quiet that they dumped on the neighborhood. Guineas will range a half-mile of territory. When the cops or animal control finally come to get the guineas, ask them if you can be the one to eat the poor birds. Hey, this is making me feel a story coming on. I signed books at Borders in Lee Summit in mid-April. Did any of the neighbors complain about strange friends of yours nearby?....Jerry

...for sale by owner...houses the most honest selling points...not to borrow...but a lone you would rather be...in all your sweetness.
really enjoyed this wonderful write Elizabeth...

LOL, Elizabeth, surprised you HAVE a house, after all of the storms Kansas has been having - day in, night out (hey, a poem's in there!). If it has a basement - better yet, a saferoom IN a basement, SOLD to an American! LOL I can put up with the neighbors - stay in the basement, won't bother me! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This is funny, Elizabeth. I could share some bad neighbor stories, too. I tend to let them go their way and I go mine; we wave in passing and that's it. Here's hoping if your "poetic home" is rented, you'll find a better place with kinder neighbors.

Thanks for responding to my challenge. I am sure many others can relate to your sentiments, too.

Jill

he he he..........that was really funny. Sounds like you have some "winning" neighbors. Well Done! Deborah

Why not get rid of the neighbours, just kill them with kindness as my Mom would say. Always be pleasant and smile share a kind word or two, bake them a surprise and they will soon lighten up or put up a for sale sign and either way you will be on the winning side. A great write you share with us Elizabeth. Thank you.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

Great challenging one, different but true for sure. Don't want to rent it even if can have my cat. The neighbors are not for me either.

hahahahahaha, this is sweet and funny! They better not run out of sugar, maybe they could buy alot of garlic, those kinda' neighbors may be vampires, lol

This is so funny LOL what a great job you did Liz. You made Jill proud. Love, Bonnie

comic and macabre all in one, and with a definite power
John

This brought a smile to my face. Well done!

hahahahaha I can't help but laugh Liz! This is a hoot.
A unique take on the challenge, well met!

I often wonder why I live in a city where most people are just as friendly. Can we or do we change everything in our lives? We also look for continuity. Is it really for sale? ;-)

Axilea

Well might be a great house for a writer of spooky ghost stories but don't sound too inviting...think you better check out some of the other entries in this challenge and see if you find something more delightful. LOL
hugs
