Ciao mystery poet, you now have three votes!

Yes buying a house is a dream many people hope to realise. But it's getting harder and harder to buy one.

In my country many inherit their parents' house in time.

But everything is changing .. houses have lost much of their value due to the new eco green laws the EU has imposed.

Europe is an old continent and most ( stone) houses can not be easily made green.

Also now everything costs three times as much building material etc.

And so the value of our houses have nosedived.

Our leaders have taken away our last ( and most precious) valued resource : our house.

Ooh that is good, I really like the whole presentation of this one, the picture is well chosen and the gold on black works well. The words sum up the excrement of first time buying. Good Luck.

I looked closely and discovered your Tyburn poem meets every descriptive requirement. Your subject matter accurately describes the feeling of a first time home purchase, and your picture pairs perfectly. Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you, I had a little help from my nephew who's a realtor. He was very helpful. I enjoyed collaborating with him.

The house next door to me just sold to a young family buying their first home. Your Tyburn describes that incredible excitement very well. Good luck in the contest. Rod

This is a really interesting poetry format. You picked a perfect combination of words to get across the feeling of buying that home. It is a scary thing to make such a huge commitment, and you want it to be just right since you'll be stuck living there! You did a really good job telling this in such a brief format, that perfectly conveyed the experience. Julie.
