POEM STARTER
Submitted by HardCoreWriter
Write a poem comparing a house and a home.
Not Just A Home
A house is a house
But a home is a home
Two similar things
And yet, only one has that shalom
We each have that dream
One big dream
To have a desired place to have
And one to call a place to sleep
It’s something we want for you and me
Just enough space for the creations we make
We sometimes forget one little thing
What does “home” really mean to us?
Is it having beautiful decor all around?
Perhaps it’s something with an enormous TV
With powerful cable and some sound
I wonder if a cat would make a nice pet
Well it would have to have a stunning view, A gorgeous two story home with a good, strong roof
One small pond here, another one there
Ooh, maybe have a big campfire in the center
Just think of all the sun tanning we can do. All we need are some good marshmallows and fondue
Well, how are we going to afford all this?
If we just have a job that pays all the bills….
We will always be happy with the things we can build. And if only we had a pool to swim
Then all our troubles will probably fade away
We would never worry about a dime that grims
We’d have lanterns all over
And candles lighting the way
Well that all seems great
But is it really _the_ place?
A house is a house
But a home is a home
Maybe a home is different to others
Sure, all this nice stuff is great
But is it really what makes a house a home?
I don’t think so….
Yes, we can buy many things
But what can money _not_ buy?
Happiness
Love
Time
Family
Something we humans forget is….
Happiness comes from being with those we love
Love is loving someone who loves you too
Time is not everlasting…so think about it wisely
Family is something that should not be taken lightly
But one little thing I want to keep around
Someone fluffy, someone sweet
Someone who is like a playful sheep
A cat would be nice, a dog too, keep them as a family heirloom.
