I Once Had a Home

Poem:  I Once Had A Home
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan
written:  April/2017


I once had a home;
a lovely peaceful abode,

quite tranquil - before 
the raging storms came -

It had Persian rugs 
atop hardwood floors -

Stain glass windows 
on all doors -

One could hear 
sweet calming music 
from an old fashion Victrola -

Life was good before the
raging storms came -

I remember the large shark aquarium 
in the living room window,

welcoming everyone who entered 
my abode-

But then, the rains came
storming out of control  -

From the outside,
my house was heavens garden 
of paradise  -

White picket fence  -

multi colored flowers across 
an arbor, with a lusciously manicured 
lawn.

It had a wrap around porch,
with a lazy day swing 

with a cushion full of fluffy pillows....

So inviting 
So warm

Life was good before the
raging storms came -

I once had a home
