Poem: A Home

Posted on January 4, 2012 | 33 Comments

Poem: A Home.

A lot of bricks and blocks.

Water, sand and cement.

Men and their skills.

And the passage of time.

This is what you need.

To build a house.

But it takes a family.

To make it a home.

    A lovely neat and tidy poem, (unlike our home); cleverly written too. Lovely.

    Amen to that, Harry…thought for a minute you were going all Free-Mason on me.

      Paul, the other two winners are great writers.

        I agree, they are great writers. So, why are they sharing your lil spot on the dark side of the moon, instead of the “Writers” category? LOL, I was just a little shocked to see darkjade go from writing an article about the award, titled, “There can only be one”, and then give out three in a category. Personally, I hope to see the categories broadened for next year. As it’s called Art Awards…I hope to see maybe, Poets, Artist, News and Current Events…etc,.. But, I’m just happy you did win in your category. Or, at least, I think you did.
        Bless You

    This is a lovely poem and a reminder that a house is not a home – it is the people within.

    PIP, it’s the people that make it as you said.

    Paul, this was the first year and i think Darkjade is going to expand and make changes next year, but everyone is happy they are winners.
