Prompted Poem: Home
Home is when I get the urge
to play that jazz
like no one's listening.
Not a place to retreat to
with demons to purge,
but a moment,
a feeling,
when I see your eyes glistening
with curiosity, my child.
When my love can sit down
with her coffee and paintbrush,
when we are who we are,
all the hype and no rush.
It puts the great "I M,"
in "improvisation."
Expression and growth
of the personal variety
with no concern yet for globalization
or even a sense of propriety.
No pressure, no stress,
home's a walk in the park.
Literally.
About the Creator
Jacob Sherman
The desire to read, and perhaps to write, should be cultivated and nurtured with care throughout every stage of life. For my part I will inject what strangeness and truth that I can into our written history. Expect no constants but honesty.
