Surrounded by the bushes,
Covered with grasses and rushes.

A fabulous poem! My favorite lines: I filled the marsh with earth, Cut down the bushes, Built a new house In place of the old one......Loved reading this poem! Thanks for sharing....10
An interesting tale nicely penned from the heart. Thanks for sharing Akham.
But true the old folk told After long it returned to me, at last truth does approach, thanks for sharing
Dwellers of old house caused fear in outsiders but when you yourself became dweller wearing their shoe, the realization comes that nobody is immune to fear no matter what kind of surrounding are there. Very profound and interesting poem in its expressions. Thank you so much for sharing.
an interesting poem of fearful woe and of it never going away no matter what? .........well written
A fascinating take on the themes of fear and cruelty. Mankind VS Mother Earth. Who's the conqueror? Who's the victor? Profound piece of poetry. Excellent write. Your poem inspired me to write: Mother Earth's Pain As Mankind pollutes Mother Earth cries now Torrent of abuse
A very gripping and intriguing write. New may replace the old but the past keeps coming back to us. The old fears are hard to die and cruelty in man is an eternal danger. A meaningful work.
Old is gold and home is not an exception and a meaningful poem.
Thrown over it Garbage and faeces Sometimes death rodents. Disgustful! Its dwellers often came up On the portico of my house, Intruded inside it. Yet, pitiable every time From it heard The distress call of a frog Grabbed by the snake wonderful piece enjoyed reding thank you for sharing
In a deserted land, the uncaring folk will dump all sorts of rubbish. Though you cleared everything and built a new house there, with time, all the thickets and bushes you had once cut down came back. But now you have adjusted to it and see the bushes as a wild cover for you! An interesting write! Enjoyed reading!
From it heard The distress call of a frog Grabbed by the snake. fear, desire to hide, safety, care and concern for others. building a new house and settling. thank you. tony
Myself to hide! For the sake of peace and safety. Nice work.

Very wonderful drafting shared on fear topic. Instantly this is very fascinating.10
I can't interpret it in better than esteemed poetess Valsa George has interpreted. It's a wonderful poem that sets a philosophical undertone. Appreciated the difference that the poet noticed between old and new. Wonderful title...top score..
