Where I am Found
Discovering what my home means to me25 total reviews
Comment from Debra White
Hi loannalois, thank you for entering the contest. I really enjoyed your take on the prompt. I almost found your poem to be an invitation to your home. Your writing style is very engaging and your home sounds like a refuge, a safe place, a welcoming place. Betsie Ann sounds like the perfect housemate. I prefer pizza too! I am surprised you didn't rank higher up the voting booth with this lovely poem. Kindest regards, Debra :)
Ps. Is that your front door? It looks lovely, the potted plants are a very elegant touch :)

Thank you again for my wonderful gift.

Caviar and peanut butter sandwiches, that sounds...interesting, Lois.
Let's just have pizza, you and I, since Betsie Ann already likes it so much, and you do, too. Can't say in my 54 years on this planet that I've ever had caviar, nor have I ever had the desire to.
I love your honesty and open door policy in this writing. You make your home sound so inviting, which I'm sure, it is.
God bless, and best of luck in the contest!

good luck in the contest
your chosen words allow the reader to see and feel with your vivid images that home to you is where one is welcome with love and understanding the sharing of this
not about big and the possessions that one has

I really appreciated the message in this piece and agree that often smaller and more simple is better. The poem seemed a bit "narrative" rather than poetic to me - more like prose. I had a Golden Retriever who would bring a large white teddy bear to the door whenever company visited. Best of luck in the contest. Sue

'My home is my proof that I can stand alone. I can feel at peace. I can begin again. I have survived.'
That last stanza is award-winning...I don't have any six stars left else I would have given em to you..
Great Job and Good Luck with the contest and God Bless~!

This is a good entry for the Home prompt. Some amusing pieces - especially a dog who does not like caviar - a picky dog LOL. I particularly like your last two stanzas which really give your true reason for the love you feel for your home. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy

A beautiful poem! The author's words are clear, strong, descriptive and creative. The poem is heart felt and reader felt the warmth of the theme of this poem. The artwork is perfect and enhances the read.
