The building looms ominously
It’s just a barn
Locked
Peer through pale blue curtains
Straining to hear whispers, see hints of movement
Trying to make sense of it
A puzzle made of smoke and mirrors
Grasping at meaning
Needing a key to unlock it
But it’s just a barn

I wrote this after the 'I met a psychic once' poem.
The pale blue curtains are a reference to her penchant for wearing that colour. I was trying to convey a sense of how we try and interpret what we see /hear with deeper meaning...but maybe sometimes it IS what is says in the tin.
It really IS just a barn.

Very true....though when it comes to our writing, readers can sometimes percieve things we didn't. But only sometimes!
I like this Suzie. Well, it is just a barn, but the thought of a barn can create all kinds of imaginings. I like your attempt to give significance to the pale blue curtains.
