The author words for me are so true. The poem is thought provoking,
descriptive and is creative. I pondered on these words and believe for
many of us, Home is where the Heart is! The artwork is awesome!
Great Poem! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Maria

Love your words
Every year I become more attached to my abode. Your words are so true,a home does reflect the character of the inhabitants. Excellent 5-7-5 form.

So, you're saying because I'm a minimalist in my decorating style that somehow makes me lacking in emotional depth? You're saying, that because I choose not to clutter, I don't have warm emotions or can't show love? You're impugning my character simply because my trappings are not the same as yours? You do know I'm kidding, right? I live by the old adage, "Never judge a book by its cover." I love the little ghost by the fireplace. That's a really fun post. Good job.

Absolutely, I agree with your poem and author's note.

I suggest uncapping 'Reflect' since it flows from your first line. You can decide if a period is needed or not. For me, these short poems need not have capped text or commas or periods.

I totally agree. My place is eclectic. My kitchen looks like a old general store with red appliances. My living room looks like a library. And my bedroom is also my office, and is kinda messy. Clean but messy sometimes. It is more like the inside of my brain. I love the poem and the picture. Karen

Dang, if this isn't a finely together strung few words. The picture also helps convey the ambiguousness of this poem. I like to avoid trappings, which makes me ponder what kind of person am I? This short poem really engaged me. Great writing!

I love this poem. A house is not just a home with stuff, there is history, there are stories. The image is brilliant, gives us a little glimpse into the meaning behind your poem. We are not alone! The spirits are with us, perhaps sipping tea (or something stronger lol!).
Well done I really enjoyed this.
Best Wishes
Nicki

Hi Senyai,
This wee poem shows that you don't need to write a long poem to shine. So much is stated here in just 17 syllables. Even after a person has departed this life, you can get a gist of what he/she was like by just looking at the surroundings... the fireplace, the rug, the bookcase, the candles, paintings, a chair. And suddenly, you see the ghost! Reflection works both ways.
Nicely penned!
Cheers,
Kimbob

Reminds me of a story (Flash Fiction) that I am writing about materialism, it is titled "Narrow Gate". it will be out in a few days. The wide gate of materialism and the narrow gate of giving. I like the "Stuff" of your poem.
