A good tribute to a country or place that became your adopted home. Great picture and artistic presentation.

So proud I am to be
living here
in a country that offers much
to live most 'oft carefree
a seer.

Thank you for sharing.

A great tribute to the home you praise here and the joy you feel at living there. I feel the same about my home and when set down roots we know we have found our home, I enjoyed the excitement you brought to your words here, love Dolly x

"My Adopted Home", is a well-written and deftly descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to reading your next post.

I think your Tri-Fall is well done (I messed up my rhyme scheme but you followed it well except for "needed" and "acquired" don't rhyme in my pronunciation.) I liked how you show appreciation for the country!
Happy Fourth!

"but trickster's (tricksters) plural
makes me" (make) since the noun is plural

Wow, this is an impressive poem. I am new to poetry and the structure of your poem seem so complicated to me when I read the description. But you make it flow so smoothly and sound like it's easy to write. It shows the high level of your skills. Thank you for inspiring me.

You serve up your observations with a hefty side of irony and wit! Very !clever! Not so easy to knock over life's barriers, even for those native born! But then that is your point, isn't it? I substitute tricksters with (most) politicians...all beating their Tabors according to what the latest pools tell them is most advantageous for them to hold on to power. One can be grateful to be living here and still see there is much that needs to be fixed!--Karenina

Where did all the flowers go? Those that bloomed peace and good will toward all mankind. It is for sure lost its way within our society. I find no fault in the wording. Yes Skittles is played in England.

I thought you were refering to the candy "Skittles"- he-he; definitely a difficult form of poetry, but you seem to have accomplished it with finnesse; excellent rhymes and great flow; thanks for the treat.

"So proud I am to be
living here
in a country that offers much"

Indeed. Thaks for saring. : ) Bob
