Lillian is serving up quadrilles at the dVerse poets pub tonight!
may home be calm harbor
where load is lighter, not harder
welcome all with warmest ardor
share from heart’s generous larder
offer love a safe haven to anchor
retreat from world’s loud rancor
into shelter of peaceful arbor
make our home a restful harbor
a poem in my pocket

The rhymes make me happy… so does the end of a peaceful home

Amen! ❤ Such a sweet and prayerful voice in this, Lynn 😊

Thank you, Sanaa!

“Make our home a resful harbor.” I do believe you could market that line….it’s a keeper! A prayer – a way to live – a way to bring up our children so they know they are always welcome and loved. Beautiful!

Your rhymes are delightful — home being a calm harbour is a resonant thought. I really liked how positive and uplifting your verse is.

I appreciate your comment, HA.

I like the ‘or/er’ sounds that echo at and punctuate the end of each line, emphasising the peace and comfort of home.

Glad you liked it, Kim.

beautiful rhymes and a beautiful wish – all homes no matter big or small should give us this feeling
Sep 25, 2018 @ 09:42:37
Yes, I think so!
Sep 24, 2018 @ 21:06:31
Live the rhymes Lynn! Yes. Home should be a safe and restful harbor
Sep 24, 2018 @ 21:18:33
Yes, Toni…I do want to live these rhymes 🙂
Sep 24, 2018 @ 22:40:04
I have a feeling you do
Sep 24, 2018 @ 20:31:50
Very interesting take on the prompt. I agree home is the place to find a harbor for all. I liked the end word rhymes…. a neat idea!
Sep 24, 2018 @ 20:38:12
Thanks, Dwight…a home should be hospitable!
Sep 24, 2018 @ 21:14:11
Yes!

Love the end-rhymes and ending line is a prayer: make our home a restful harbor
Sep 25, 2018 @ 09:43:28
Thanks for noticing it ends as prayer, Grace 🙂
