Beautiful imagery in this lovely nostalgic poem. Fond memories can see us through some difficult times and quiet our fears. They can also give depth to our lives.

Well done.

Blessings
Janet

Home is where the heart is. No matter where you are, home is the place we longed for. Home, no matter how big or small, is the place where we grow up. Excellent work.

Great job! You paint a vivid picture of your birth home and the lone light that shines brightly in the dark. You make the reader "feel" your memories. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you have interpreted the 'light' topic with your free verse JLR, the light that fuels your memories of days gone by. Beautifully done, lovely emotions and descriptions throughout this one,
cheers

Beautifully written Jim. Yes indeed, whatever we allow ourselves to be rooted and grounded, provided it has some infallibility to it, then that should philosophically and morally bind us in its solid reassurance. Bless you, this is a "corker", (you'll have to look up Aussie words for that meaning) well done, blessings Roy

A few years ago, while my wife and I were in town to attend my father's funeral services, my father's youngest brother drove past a house and said to me; "This is the house you were born in." I was 63 years old at the time and I marveled at the condition the house was in, it still looked totally livable, in need of no repairs as far as I could tell. Your remarkable poem caused all of the feelings I experienced that day to come rushing back to me. Thank you so much.

A really nice post. Very good description of the setting, but more important, what that setting represents for you. Hopefully, we all have such a space. Bill

This is a wonderful story, told in flowing blank verse, and very well written. It keeps the reader's interest throughout. It keeps to the theme, and is imaginative and creative. The photo is well-chosen, a great support for your poetry.
