H azily, as nightfall glides ,I unlock the front-gate O verwrought from drills of a riddled job, M y toes stumble on scented violet buds E nhancing gripped thoughts to drip-drop away. S omehow, Mom’s roast chicken trails along W here piano notes soften the blues… and there, E merging through a hall; Oh Granpa appears E ager to spend a ritual of my life’s rhapsody; T urning my drones into an abode’s breezy song. H eartfelt jousts ring to nourish time’s warmth, O ften soothing an outer world, restless… yet this M erriment flames brightly in this safe refuge, E ver precious as restful chants of heaven’s lyre. 2/3/2016 Contest: Home Sweet Home Acrostic Sponsor: John Hamilton

The home of your heart welcomes the songs of trusted spirit, and I really like how you place a touch of simple beauty in your comfy refuge, the violets, the scents, the blues of innocent moods, the rituals of family, and the music of heaven's supervision Nette...J.A.B.

You have a charming way of making it seem quite sweet. So may all your days be pleasant ones! It is such a pleasure reading your HSH and some of the others. Yours has a style all its own. More smiles bring you to me.

Magical poetry. Work is a pressure cooker, and the familiar aroma, floral sightings, banter are the sweet music for a tired soul! This is a home I like to reside in!
