Small But Comfortable

My home is small but comfortable
To me and to my spouse.
It doesn’t have the room we’d get
If we lived in a house.

Yet here we raised our children
And we entertained as well.
Our guests felt warm and welcomed,
Least as far as I can tell.

It doesn’t take too much to make
A snug and cozy home,
Just like one need not be Robert Frost
To write a decent poem.

OH I lOVE THIS. I have met many poets also who were JUST as good as Robert Frost but because of the day and age we live in, they will die unknown among all the poet wannabe's. GREAT poem.

thanks for what you said to me about Cinder Girl. It takes a lot to get me angry and as long as my name is getting publicity on that video.... (just wish she had used all my words and meter of that poem). Now let me read this one of yours.+ 63
