Sonnet.3. Our Home Poem by Valsa George

Sonnet.3. Our Home

Rating: 5.0


Our home is a place of unswerving love
A sweet abode of peace we long to have
Here our commitments, we often avow
And dreams colorful, we skillfully weave
It's ever tilted to the source of light
But has moments of dissonance and strife
Though the mist of winter sets in to smite
Yet it is warm and resonant with life
Within its firm and well protected walls
There is no room for pretence or deceit
Flung open are its wide windows and doors
To let in unrestricted flow of light

Here we share life's transient joys and grief
From all storms of life, here we're sheltered safe!

Home and homeland both are like warm arms of a mother. Is the child more secured and protected anywhere else? A great poem.

This is exactly what we need for a healthy society - families which fit the description you provide here, not the squeaky clean family that is unrealistic and puts impossible pressures on ordinary families to emulate (they can't!) - and certainly not the porous family where everyone does as they please and no bonds pull the members together. In your poem you steer the middle road, neither totally free, nor totally controlled - showing respect for both children's feelings and parents' authority - such is the way to healthy, supportive, secure family life - I love this poem for showing us the possibilities of HUMAN HAPPINESS.

Absolute identity of an ideal home blooms in all flagrance here. A sonnet dedicated to every home perhaps. A FINE SONNET and a sure 10 for you Valsa madam.

This is a perfectly developed sonnet. You give a complex but transparent view of family life within the family home, the two reflecting each other. I love the line It's ever tilted to the source of light. What a wonderful situation that you have accomplished this orientation with the help of all the family and that you know this is the way you love and thrive.
