Honor holds her head high.
Hear her hallelujahs,
her humanity,
her hope.
Hatred howls his heavy heart.
Hear his hubris,
His horror,
His hurt.
He hesitates.
Huddled, hunkered, humorless,
He hems.
He haws.
Honor hears him.
Hoping, healing, hearkening,
Humble.
Human.
Her homily,
"Hie, head here."
He hears her.
He heeds her.
Horizon, hill, house,
Home.

Home sweet home. Great job!
Thank you for sharing—loved this take on the tautogram challenge. I was reading it in a staccato beat and loved the rhyme!
Well done!!!💖💖💕
