Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Home Sweet Home - Buzzwords

“Home, Sweet Home” by John Howard Payne

Home Sweet Home -Buzzwords

(Poem Sweet Home)

I’ve been to a lot of lovely places
But the poem-stead is my home.
I’ve seen a lot of friendly faces
But there’s only one place I call home.
It’s where rhyme meets with free verse
And alliteration’s free to roam.
A place where most of us don’t curse
Yes, the poem-stead is my home.
