I just love the artwork with the Casper look alike sitting there looking most comfortably in a sort of Dickensian setting, I think you've done a great job with this 5/7/5 poetry contest, good luck, blessings Roy

Thisbis so true. What we adorn our homes with says a lot about us. Your photo is rather humorous. Makes me want to stay away from antiques LOL.
Good job and a great entry in the 5-7-5 contest. Good luck!

This is so true. I think you can make a home anywhere, the same as many people never make a home, they only ever have a house. I've known people like that. A lovely 5-7-5 poem, senyai.

A house can be full of stuff and still feel empty. But a house with barely any stuff can feel warm and inviting - because of the love shared in it. That's a home with heart.

That's a good one. Interestingly enough, it is more than a truism. People make themselves at home when they are comfortable. Comfort is different for most people. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry Contest. Good syllables count, form, and composition. The presentation and imagery is beautiful. Well done!

Well done... and true! I've sometimes had the experience of immediately wanting to leave a house that sends the wrong message to me. The picture you chose is very cute and a perfect match for your words

Home is definitely where the heart is. We are most comfortable there. We prove this concept every time we travel and then get home. Definitely, there is no place like home.

Well done
Blessings

What you say in this short poem is very true. As I grow older, the "trappings" of my home seem to reflect "the character of its inhabitants" more and more and increase in sentimental value. Rod

    Hi Rod,

    It is true, the older we get, the more our home reflects us. No need to make it a showcase anymore for others to see.

    Thank you for your most interesting thoughts on my tiny little poem.

    All the best,
    Senyai
