Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello Mystery Writer,
OH! How your poetic offering resonates with me! I, too, have deep-seated, treasured memories of my childhood home that "has no life" since my parents have died. I cannot even bring myself to drive by it. Your poem is keenly moving.
Best Wishes,
diane

This is a wonderful poem of sentiment, longing and grief. You have done a great job in formatting and conveying true emotional angst. Well done and good luck.

Comment from Mastery
Wow, author! Very well done indeed. I see winner written all over this piece of poetry for sure. It builds and builds with so much that has happened in the house and then comes to a crescendo with "Quiet"
Bravo! Bob

Comment from damommy
A very original take on this contest challenge. I like the way you repeated 'mostly life.' Then, in the end, how it was so quiet without the person lost. Good luck in the contest. You have my vote!

Hello Anonymous Writer.
I love these old homes, especially when they have the open porches...I really enjoyed this, the rhymes added so much to the piece...but mostly life, but mostly glorious life...I like the last line the most
Good descriptive wording for all the activities that went on there.
Sadly there comes a time, when these old houses, are left standing alone, as those within grow old or leave for other places..and then these well lived in homes, becomes just an quiet old relic...I wrote something like this a long time ago...your poem really speaks to the history of these old homes...Good luck in the contest...Thanks for sharing..
Warmly,
Victoria

What a lovely review this is, Victoria. It's so nice to write something and have someone 'get it' the way you have with this. Thank you for this validating review and for your well-wishes with the contest. Both are very much appreciated.
You're quite welcome, it was my pleasure!
Comment from karenina
Very moving read. I felt your longing for those simpler days when life was something taken for granted and every soul in that home seemed immortal. There is a reverberating echo of memories that bounce from verse to verse until, in the final verse, you share the pain of this quiet...
Good Luck in the contest!--Karenina

A repeat post....??????.....sorry!
Comment from Gail Denham
Good entry to the contest. Not sure what form, but that's ok - I like the repetitions at the end of several stanzas. Yes, a house grows awful quiet when one of the main players has left. It's also so quiet just after the grandkids leave -- or when the last son marries and moves away.
Not sure I'll ever get past that kind of quiet.
Good job.

A childhood house you will never forget. I grew up in one house and hold a lot of memories. You did a great job and I think many can relate to this. I wouldn't change a thing
