Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Home - a Valentines Ode

Home is not a house
Home is not a flat
Home is not whatever place
I laid down my hat

Home is not a country
Home is not a town
Home is not the place that I
Put my suitcase down 

Home is not a memory
Nor a future hope
Home is not an anchor
That binds you like a rope

Home is not four walls in which
I do the things I do
Home is any time or place
That I share with you

Tom Cunningham February 10, 2021 at 10:45 AM Its that time of year again and romance is in the air. Well written valentine ode Terry. It will have to be a takeaway again as everywhere is damn shut. Tom Terry Flood February 10, 2021 at 11:23 AM Thanks Tom. As per the rules, I make or buy my partner a card every year and she ‘forgets’. I quite often use soups greeting card generator which can be a bit quirky but gets the job done. So this ode may be this years unless I can do better. Cheers Tom. Terry
