i am writing a poem and need help finding the right wording. Another word for a run down house or appartment. I have already thought of "ruins" but it does not fit or isn't "intelegent" enough. If you have any suggestions or know of what im talking about email me or instant message me if you have any question to what im talking about. And yes i do know of the reference site Dictionary.com which has definitions and thresaurus. But i have not come up with the right "wording". TY
