This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise.

*Reading* THE POEM

A mystery about an abandoned home that stirs the reader's imagination.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

I really enjoyed the word play in this poem. The author has to use some mandatory phrases per the prompt, but does an excellent job weaving them into a poem that stirs the imagination. Reader finds several signs of abandonment, from a lonely dog, to the salt tipped over to the haunting wind chimes and a full mailbox. Things that make you go um....?

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is a poem with four quatrains. The 1st and 2nd along with the 3rd and 4th lines rythme.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read. Good use of WDC ML to make it easy on the reader's eyes.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I especiallyliked: "The sound of wind chimes, a haunting refrain, a melody lost in the whispering rain." -- what a great visual, that only sets a vivid scene in the reader's imagination, but also stirs their curiosity.

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The title piques the reader's interest but I don't know how representative it is of the mystery presented in the poem. The opening stanza grabs the reader's interest. An interesting mystery indeed!
