Our Home

Our home is a place of unswerving love. A sweet abode of peace we long to have. Here our commitments, we often avow, And dreams colorful, we skillfully weave. It’s ever tilted to the source of light. But has moments of dissonance and strife. Though the mist of winter sets in to smite, Yet it is warm and resonant with life. Within its firm and well protected walls There is no room for pretense or deceit. Flung open are the doors of its small halls, To let in unrestricted flow of light. Here we share our life’s transient joys and grief. From all storms that sweep, here we’re sheltered safe!

Home should be a safe place and not one where a person lives in fear.. Your sonnet flows well and has a correct syllable count.. nice message in your poem also.

Valsa, The vivid portrayal of emotions evoked by your poem beautifully encapsulates the love within your home, my dear friend. It is truly an exceptional depiction, yet only you possess the ability to convey it with such captivating eloquence. This poem serves as a remarkable representation of the profound joy experienced by your family. Well done, my friend.

Ah dear valsa, you can nail and do any form really well. Your sonnet flows so well with exquisite rhymes and profound truth woven in such eloquence. I love the depth of this poem especially how you’ve written “ Flung open are the doors of its small halls, To let in unrestricted flow of light.”such a warm thought to even read about such a warm place with no deceit or pretense. Sending you light always. Goodluck in the contest, im sure this will do very well
