1. A small, weakened plant
Searching for water with roots,
In the hardened ground.
2. Joy
On a winter night,
Joy can't be a thing more than,
A warm, cozy house.
3. Fascination
Fascination is,
Brisk, snapping, impatient, eyes.
Yearning for answers.
4. Neglect
The house is ashes,
Though it stood proudly before,
Fire was it's (sic) end.
4. (sic) The house is ashes,
Though it stood proudly before
Owned by thoughtless men.
