A house a house
Perhaps our kingdom
Is a home. .. it is, my dear. You are the queen of your own castle, no matter what state it is in.
Dear Padu,
Congratulations on the purchase of the new home. No matter what state it is in, we can go only as far as our dreams, so dream .. big, then bigger!
I love the roisterous, high-adrenalin energy that your lines release.
Yes, I'll be praying. Prayed for your mother-in-law this morning too (I said I would, didn't it??)
Best wishes and here's to all your biggest dreams coming true,

A poem that can transmit so much love, hope, fear, frustration and excitement must be a good one! Good luck! All grand plans are worthwhile and achievable in small chunks. Congratulations.

Hi. I am sorry it took so long to get back. I have been busy at the house and it has no phone line yet, hence no internet...
Thanks for the review.

this is an interesting piece of poetic art! i love the idea for turning the loft to a mediation centre! the poem itself reveals a long yearning for things to come. escapable emotions now hitting hard on the nose.
thank you for sharing!

Home is where you and your partner are my friend. Not in the building. Stop looking at the BIG picture, it is overwhelming. Do what you can "Just for today." When we look at one project at a time, do our best each day, then we have done enough. Looking at one day at a time we have hope. All will be well.

I hope everything works out for you. What a grand plan and all so giving to others. This house reminds me of the book I just published. "My walls Speak" about a 100 year old house who tells her own story. I'm sure this house has a story too.

As specific as you have made this, it still speaks to the stresses and euphoria in the process of and subsequent buying of a house. I could feel your angst as I read this.
I applaud your daring. . .and keep my fingers crossed that your endeavor will bring you a kingdom of happiness.

Buying a new house is a major undertaking, padumachitta. Congratulations! I am sure it will entail a lot of work, but each accomplishment with your remodeling will bring great pleasure, I am sure.
I love the way you've written your poem to describe the purchase and all that has followed, so far! Your words and lines have a scattered feeling (maybe like your new home), but it's totally understood. Your last stanza sums it all up:
"A house a house
Perhaps our kingdom
is a house."
Well done! Thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving! Alana

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Pad, this is a big undertaking from your author notes and I think you managed to really pull it off in your poem. It's not just the hard work of labour but the time it takes in amongst regular life's ups and downs. You did a fine job getting me interesting in the set up of the home, your plans, you've weaved love within your images of what you hope for. Your poem stands alone too, the AN were a nice added touch. Beautiful - keep at it:)
Thanks for sharing.

I know what it is like to be in the middle of a big job and the daunting feeling that go with it. I can only say that thing do improve with constructive planning and after that is it patience and sometimes luck,
