Special Property-CM

Contest: Lento Soup Poetry
Sponsored by Charles Messina


There's a special place being built for me,
Where my house will last for all eternity.
No more needs for mortgages or hotels.
Collateral not required, nor will show and tell.

On a forever property of my very own.
 Long has been the wait for my new home.
Say goodbye to town to town, state to state.
A private mansion is where I'll lay my stake.

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 24, 2026 at 12:50 AM A thoughtful, uplifting poem that presents heaven through the comforting language of home and permanence. The practical references to mortgages, hotels, and moving from place to place make the spiritual promise feel immediate and relatable, while the closing image of a private mansion gives the piece a confident sense of peaceful arrival. Its paired rhymes support the reflective, hymn-like tone. Curtis Johnson August 24, 2026 at 1:18 AM Your comments are so gracious and valued. Thks, Allison.
