~ Green, Green Grass Of Home...

Greetings Apians!
   Once again I come to annoy you... Lately I have been wandering a lot... I don't think there is any place of my city where I haven't been... And this place is so much homey to me, as it should be... What I want you to write for me is something about your homeland or your home...  What does home mean to you? How close you are to your friends and family? How will you feel if you have to leave it?
Put in lots of emotions, and make me cry or smile... Tell me how does green, green grass of home feel?

Couple of rules :
i. No cussing, slang things
ii. You can enter upto 2 poems

Trophies:
1st place gets 400 points
2nd place gets 100 points
3rd place gets 50

This time I wont allow pre-writes.. Wish to read some fresh stuff.... Please don't make it too long, I don't have much stamina... Again I will not force you, this is no rule but it would be very nice of you to read other poems in the contest It promotes love and brotherhood or sisterhood lol....  

God bless you all

    Very interesting title my friend. Nothing would really surprise me with you, but when you use this title, I must ask: Do you like 60's and 70's country music?

    This will be some fun reading. I wish you all the best with it.

    Yes dear friend I do like to listen to some old classic country music of 60's and 70's and Green green grass of home is one of them.. I would love any song that will have a solid composition, doesnt matter if its new or old! thank you so much for taking out time to read my work..

    There is so much that comes to mind when I think of what it means to me ( as I am torn between two lands ) born and raised in one , and now living in another one ......not sure I can put it into words though I wish you a very succesful contest ,
