Question

Where is the house located? Why is it a mysterious place?

Answer 1

• Introduction:
  The poem “The house on Elm Street” is written by Nadia Bush. She decided to write about a house that no one knows because she was told to write a “dark” poem.
• House on Elm Street:
  The house is located on Elm Street. The poetess Nadia Bush pictures a photographic view of the mysterious house. It stood all alone with a ton of space but bare to the bone.
• Mystery of the house:
  During nights lights flicker on and off. The house looks brighter in the hot summer. The brightness of the house begins to fade every day. The house remains a mystery always. It tempts the poetess. But, she doesn’t go inside due to fear.
• Mysterious tree:
  Beside the house, there is a tree without leaves. The tree neither grows tall nor gets smaller. The poetess is astonished at the sight.
• Conclusion:
  She doesn’t understand the happenings inside the house. So the poet assumes that the house on Elm Street is a mystery. Here the poetess metaphorically tells us that our life in this world is a mystery. We can’t go deep inside to know the purpose of the mystery behind our life.
