Brick House

Author’s Notes: This response was an idea from Amanda Dabney because it seemed very creative and different. This writing is a unique form of poetry called acrostic poetry, which is where the first letter of each line combine to spell out a phrase. During the reading of the chapter The Last Night the idea of each human is in theoretical terms a house. The house consists of hallways, doors, and windows all leading to different meanings.

Every person has dual personalities
Vanquishing a personality is impossible
Exposed to the eye are the brick walls of flesh
Revealing the windows of our thoughts
Years are necessary to keep the house functional

Hidden in the house are the hallways and numerous doors
United together by the structure of the walls
Most of the hallways lead to untold stories and secrets
A key is often necessary to unlock the doors
No other house or person has the same features

Inside the house the door is the entrance to the brain
Soul is also found behind the door leaking into the creaks in the floor boards

A crack in the window helps different perceptions be made

Hidden behind the doors lie the structure of what makes a person
Opening the doors may lead to unwanted natures
Utilizing these natures may lead to the true devil inside
Setting on fire a person’s wholly good and leaving them wanting more
Eventually the house burns down and all to be left is the devil snickering
