Thank you for this warm and gracious review, Dolly. I'm so sorry to read about your husband's passing. I'm sending you love. xo
Comment from CathyM
What a sad poem. I felt the happiness then the sadness being in a home that turns into a house. You did very well and hope you do well in the contest.

Comment from Lance S. Loria
Complimentary artwork. I couldn't get into this poem's message. The poem simply did not grab me. It seems the message is too abstract.

Well, lucky for you, Lance, the member dollars weren't! Enjoy them.
Comment from June Sargent
What a touching and poignant poem on love and loss. A house full life and joy over time becomes a house full of strife and quiet. Deafening quiet. A point well made. Should do well in the contest.

This is a terrific review, June - so specific and helpful, which I always appreciate. Thanks, too, for the well-wishes with the contest.

I like how the story flows in this poem. It does a good job at leading up to the ending, and it makes you feel it more after having built up the rest of it.

I love how specific this review is. That's always very helpful because it lets me know what 'connected.' Thank you for this feedback very much, Samantha. I appreciate it.

Comment from dragonpoet
This is so sad. But I think once the grief abates. The house can once again teem with life from all the other family members that are still alive.
Good luck in the contest. Keep writing

Comment from susand3022
Hello Author, I liked this poem a lot, life IS full of strife, and lots of other things that you don't realize are wonderful until you don't have them anymore. Nobody realizes how much they'll miss the 'crazy' until the 'crazy' isn't there anymore. Well said. :)

That is EXACTLY right, Susan. So we have to love the crazy while we have it. Great review. You totally caught my point...an aspiring writer's dream come true. Thank you.
Comment from Willie P. Smith
This is very deep and spooky, however; well written.
The rhyme is just a tad chaotic but it makes sense. I like the way you ended it, though very sad. Well done.

Thank you for this nice review. I especially like that although you found the rhyme chaotic (and it was!), you thought it made sense with the message. That felt encouraging.
Comment from Dean Kuch
I get it, Anonymous Poet.
What you're basically saying here is that it takes a lot more than just a house to make a home.
A house is nothing more than a structure made of wood, mortar, stone and brick, held together by nails.
It has to be filled with love, and memories to make it a home.
Lovely poem.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sally Law
Sorry no six is offered for this great piece. A winner for the contest, I see. You have my vote. A house sees so much of life. The saddest thing is when it is no more.
All my best,
Sal :+)
