Notes About The Poem

[Trimeric 2 Poetry Contest sponsored by Janice Canerdy Sept 2024] Placed 1st

Beaver Island TRI

Both fell in love with Beaver Isle
A plot was bought close to the lake
Their house was built in rustic style
This house a home they planned to make. 

A plot was bought close to the lake
With a clear view and facing East
So eyes on amber dawns could feast.

Their house was built in rustic style
With rugged charm, simple décor…
One more surprise they had in store.

This house a home they planned to make
That would not be pie in the sky:
Hush ~ I can hear a baby’s cry!

Maria Williams Date: 10/2/2024 3:57:00 AM Dear Paul,what a lovely poem! The way you capture the serene beauty of Beaver Isle and the anticipation of building a home there is truly heart-warming. The repeating lines give it a soothing, rhythm, reflecting the natural flow of life by the lake. I especially love the gentle transition from house to home— highlighting that it’s not just a place but a shared dream and space for new beginnings. The ending with the baby’s cry feels like a promise of love and family, adding a beautiful layer of joy and hope. Congratulations on an awesome POTD my friend...Hugs Login to Reply
