Home

I am the comfort of familiarity

But also its contempt

I am dreams unrecognized, love, insincerity

Disappointment from expectations unmet

yes, Home is our haven, our sanctuary, but unfortunately some just use it as a hiding place.

Thank you Jacob for the review. Yes it can be good or bad.

you bring differing thoughts about home, someplace at times we all get comfort from; but there can also be disappointment, conflict, unexpected problems; so home is not necessarily all comfort; and, you do an excellent job of portraying your thoughts in a Brevity poem such as yours.
Well done Soren.
Best, B

It definitely can be those things but it is also so much more in the right hands. It can be a wonderland if you let it. but it can truly be a disappointment if you let it. I like your thoughts and how they move.

I loved this poem on Home. It's such a love hate relationship. We love the familiarity of the four walls yet want to run away from it. A home can indeed be so many things all at the same time. A haven, a heaven, a hell, a shrine, a battle ground and so much more. Kudos for always writing something new and thinking!

Two sides of the coin here. I am pleased to say, that my home is my haven. I have lived here 40 years. There were times in the early years where I had to ride out the disappointments. A lovely little bit of brevity here Soren. Have a good Tuesday.

Thank you so much Chris for the review and comment. Yes home can be a refuge or a place of suffering.
