Love your entry for the writing prompt! I believe writing about the five senses was very clever.
The overall presentation - artwork, font and font color are very eye appealing, suggesting happiness. Your poem pleasantly and joyfully speaks expressively and with a lilt the word 'happiness'.
Beautifully done!

A nice poem. The flow is good. The imagery is nice. The tone is conversational and warm. The poem stays on point.

One suggestion:

You don't actually talk about taste. You mention food on the table (sight) and aroma (smell). I would suggest the pleasure of food on the tongue would do taste.

A good read. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for a thoughtful and encouraging review. I was counting the food as involving the sense of taste. I'll have another look though, so thanks for that thought.

The senses are very useful, they aid memory, speech, obtaining wisdom, keeping the body functioning. But most of all as you are alluding to the giving and receiving of love, whether with affection, or simply speech. This is beautiful written my friend, I don't look for perfection in poetry, but it's how we improve, by the receiving and giving of educated observations, I thank God for some of the stinging crits I've received over the years, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

It is true, live is never perfect but near perfection is not bad at all and few get anywhere near that : )) Home should be exactly how you describe it, peaceful, comforting. A place of joy and happiness and a place where you can feel loved. Growing old with your lover and best friend, knowing that they are your safe place. Nice!

But the choicest sounds which I ever will hear
Are those when he says "I love you, my Dear!"
This was so heartwarming and made me smile. A wonderful poem for the competition Kindest regards and good luck Meia x

You included all the senses here in your colourful poem, the rhythm lost its way a bit but I enjoyed the end rhymes, much fun, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

    Thank you very much. Yes the rhythm was sacrificed to what I wanted to say, I am afraid!
