Notes About The Poem

the 'Halcyon, Heartbroken, House Words' Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France 10/06/2023

 

 

 

 

House

A dream house next to the beach,
facing the calm or the wild sea.
A dream house in the mountains, 
facing the forest and the country roads.

A dream house with someone 
to share our time with,
it leaves many memories in our life.
A dream house with emptiness,
is a palace made of stones,
and cold in our bones.

A mansion, dreamt by the most, 
on the hill or the shore
in West Hollywwood
where rich people cry tears many times.
Maybe a house in the West side of the Bronx, 
where people fight among ethnicities.

A house can be our home,
our safety, our privacy, 
our sharing, our everything.
A house should mean protection 
and family safe.
A dream house is nothing 
but a prison when you are alone.

Bill Baker October 6, 2023 at 5:07 PM A very mindful poem, Maria. Your closing statement is true, the home is in the heart, the house is whatever you think you want to live in. The photo made me think of the quote..."No man is an island etc ...". Looks like this is an island home. Good luck in the contest, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill Maria Fernandez-Garcia October 7, 2023 at 2:04 AM Hi Bill. You are right, it's an island house. It's very true: "Home is in your heart". Thank you for all your lovely comments. Enjoy the weekend my friend. Blessingsxxxx!

Victor Buhagiar October 6, 2023 at 6:00 AM Since my last sickness, I have been saddled with a Philippine carer. I love it most when she's asleep and I am reading your lovely poetry. I spent six years alone when my wife died. I still relish the peace and quiet of a silent large house. My home is when I'm alone, trying to appreciate lovely poetry. Blessings. Maria Fernandez-Garcia October 6, 2023 at 7:00 AM Hello Victor. Sorry for your wife lost. Not easy. A home is empty when you loose a beloved one. It's an indescribable emptiness. Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It was really nice your comment. Have a great afternoon. Blessingsxxxx
