"Halcyon, Heartbroken, House" words Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Constance La France

A house is a home only when I fall ecstatically in love with you, feel cocooned in our nest with your warm presence and tender care! A house is a home only when its beautifully painted windows and decorated doors are open to let in my irresistible dreams! A house is a home only when my crimson evenings turn surreal by ambrosial fragrance from the softest flower-petals of my garden of Eden! A house is a home when relaxing in the porch, gazing at the gorgeous starlit evening sky, we admire magical moon gleaming a mysterious intriguing smile! A house is a home When at celestial dawn I am awestruck watching the sun rise in the vermilion sky, The world waking up to the sublime melody of birdsongs... blessings of almighty! A house is a home only when you and I create innumerable memories with our beating hearts entwined, our life becomes a complete whole... two parts of a shell, a perfect pearl shining inside!

A house is a home when you live in it with all of your heart and soul, and you do love, what a perfect little poem you penned :)

I thought of writing about home too, but didnt, this is so beautiful talented poetess, so many i know live in a house that doesn’t seem like a home anymore, home is i think not a place but a feeling and person, in my beloved arms i find home: i love how uve written this in such a soulfully moving manner especially the last stanza! Ahh love this! Fave

Thank you so much, Dear SO. feel delighted to receive your comment. Previously I had written a few poems about the poignant memories of my parents and childhood "House"... this time this one line, for whatever reason, kept coming back to me. Really appreciate your thoughtful comment - your support is precious in my learning journey.

Dear Mala, what a beautifully descriptive poem this is. Reminds me of the saying,’ home is where the heart is’. I can relate to this so much. Such gorgeous, poetic lines with stunning imagery,’ only when my crimson evenings’ ‘watching the sun rise in the vermillion sky‘’magical moon smiling’.Delightful! I especially love the last few lines. Perfect. So enjoyed it. Thank you. Have a blessed weekend my poetic friend. Hugs and smiles to you :):)

That’s what happened here. Thank you so much, My Dearest Poet-friend. It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada - send you love and hugs ~
