Cozy Poetic Bloomings

 Home


I’m at my home away from home. 

Just drove seven hours 

from southwest Colorado to Phoenix

to be with my kids at their house.

I personally wouldn’t have picked

the gold paint for the walls

but somehow the color relaxes me.


And like mother, like daughter.

She decorates her house with crafts

and pictures from our travels. 

A drum from Hawaii, paintings from Ireland,

a framed photo from Maine.

Funny how objects from far away 

can make a home feel more homey.
