Home such sweet words,
As i sit and ponder my muse,
For they tell of simple joys
The ones i like most to choose...
For home is my safe haven
When the lights are soft and low,
Where my cares are unburdened
And peace is good to know...
It's the dearest place on earth,
A refuge from the storm,
Hearts that share in kinship
And reflect on memories warm...
Home such sweet words,
It speaks to me of rest,
Where life's simple pleasures
Are at their very best~

Feels like Home
Susen, you paint a picture with words that not many can. You feel what we all do and put it into words we all can understand. So much comes from the home both good and bad, you have captured very well those things that mena the most. 4 stars good job. -
like an ode....sweet imagery, and message, this is the kind of stuff hallmark is made of...hehehehe...very cheery and heartwarming
nicely written
peace

Do you mind if I kick off my shoes and sit awhile?LOL been a long time since I called anyplace home. hope yours is blessed and that you are too.

I don't think it could have been said any better than this Susan!!!! Home really is all you've described here, a safe haven, a place for memories, peaceful and secure...not too many words, but the ones you chose expresses the feeling perfectly!!!! Love this write!!
-
I liked this one, thats the way I feel too, cozy and peaceful and at rest in my home. and your words reminded me of that and made me feel grateful to have it. So many blessings so often one forgets about. Thank you.

This is just so comfortable, it made me think of hot chocolate and warm slippers, a fluffy blanket and a fire place.. which are all just fine with me ..!

"Home is where the heart is" ....

The type of poem to print out and keep in a special place. A sense of peace descends over the reader and keeps them warm and fuzzy for a long time.
I love it! Your poetry always paints just the right mood. -
Ahhhh... be it ever so humble....
Beautiful words of home, Susan. We so often take it for granted. -
Very Good Write! Peaceful and warm....home is where the heart is. I once had a home....but the people who made it a home...were gone....my heart asn't there....so I traveled to a place where my heart could start anew. And it did, and it has, and now it's home. ~Bud~

There's no place like home...There's no place like home! (Wizard of Oz) Beautiful sentiments in this lovely poem! I feel very fortunate that my home is a place I really love and a place where I find comfort and joy. Nice pic', Sis!

do not touch
Wonderful ! You know we do a lot of travelling , have been many places , seen beautiful things. But if it all comes down to it , HOME is still the place my heart never leaves , as you mentionned....it is my muse. It is my comfort and it is my escape from the troubled word. I can turn on my music.........and I can let my hair down. I can be ME. I am HOME

This is one of your best constructed poems, susan... If home is where when you go there, they have to take you in--it is also this place that you describe so well...
-
awwwwwwwwwwwwww susan!
home is where the heart is, and where you hang your hat...
when home is far away, we think of home, when home is where we are, sometimes we just think...
wonderful write here!
blessed be

Serene Moments
Serenely and flowing piece of poetry, Susan - you've got your own tender style and I love it! I really do. This poem evoked so many memories in my mind, for which I am truly grateful.
Thank you for sharing.
Kindest Regards, -
wonderful, tranquil...a porch with a cup of coffee, listening to bird song is a way to get muse wings beating in a brain.
Well done.

beautiful
I liked this Blushful, there is nothing like the comfort of a place where your heart is ..
Tis a lovely piece full of appreciation for what many just see as a roof and four walls.
-
Ah, this is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! You had AMAZING flow and so much heart sowing in this poem! I think this is my new fav by you. It kinda gave me a feeling about home that I haven't had in quite sometime... cause my home is a place I really DON'T wanna be right now... but I wont bother ya with details
HUGS AWESOME! -

I think you outdid yourself with this one honey. Girl, that was beautiful. I was so right there with you (especially at this point in my life). I'm all about peace and harmony. It's a wonderful write. Great flow and full of passion. -
Home an excellent place to be and to write of being; I really like this poem and the background only added to the beauty of it all.

Aww this is how I feel about my own home. I love that picture, it has a peaceful feel to it. I have a porch but mine is closed in by window and screens. Lovely write Susan.

I like the sentiment of this, very well expressed love of home sweet home. i don't know what to say...i am home alone right now, and i feel really wierd...other than my cat i am the only thing breathing this air, and i there's something kind of creepy about it...that didn't really have anything to do with your poem, sorry, i am just not really in a commenting mood, but i really liked your poem, there was just one thing that i think you had a typo in..."Where i my cares are unburdened" but whatever...
nicely written

I really like this one, just because I think completely opposite of it. Home is a prison, there is no escaping it, no reason to stay and no way to leave. Simple pleasures are indeed at home, but I am restless.
