Comment from Dean Kuch
Amen, I'll gladly second that sentiment!
Having lived in Los Angeles, Vegas, Tokyo, Japan (for seven months), Seoul, South Korea, Norfolk, VA, East Brunswick, NJ and finally back home to Georgetown, Ohio, I can honestly say that country living is the best for me, despite the many conveniences the city life offers.
In other words..."There's No Place Like Home!"
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Anytime.
Comment from Jaye Bennett
Your 5-7-5 poem meets the contest guidelines. It strikes a chord for all of us who long to go home. However, for me it doesn't gel. It is three separate sentences, instead of one flowing statement. The picture goes well with your poem.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the city life that offers many opportunities for work seekers and young people. The downside is there is no peace and calm to be found in the cities.

I agree, the countryside is home for me too. This is a heartfelt 5-7-5 poem, and an excellent contest entry. Your words alone have as much imagery as the picture. Very well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
I have lived in the country for years now and I don't think I'd like the noise and fast pace of the city life either. In the country, there's a sense of calm and peace. I love that you say, "I long for home." Nicely formatted 5-7-5. Good luck.

Thank you so much for your comments. I am actually a townie but found the picture so appealing.
Comment from tkbrown
You have written a sentiment that many hold dear. You have created a 5-7-5 haiku that describes the yearning city life creates for the calmer more peaceful life of the country. The artwork that you have created idyllically depicts just such an abode. The words and the artwork created by Noel "tubod" Pocot at FanArtReview.com go well together. Thank You for sharing and allowing me to review your work. tkbrown

Comment from rspoet
This is a solid 5-7-5 poem and entry for the contest
The alliteration works well in this poem
The call of the country is a great lure,
but I suppose their are some who like the city,
it noise and pollution and all.
Great pastoral picture
Good luck in the voting
