If Your Home Was A Person Who Would It Be
What Did You Come Up With ?
It's no fun if you don't try
Then you can read and see if we agree or disagree
My home is a place of comfort after the hardest of days
Where I leave all my troubles out on my porch
To tackle when I am good and ready but usually not right now
As I open the door I immediately feel safe
I look around at each room
Comfortable and not to fancy
It has it's own modern but casual style
I can look out any window and see trees yes beautiful trees
They bring me close to nature where the animals are close by but not inside
My home is a little bit chilly in the winter
So we can save on the heat
Then of course we aren't so tired and we don't want to sleep the day away
The light comes beautifully in every room
Giving us incredible natural light that feels just right
I live in a ranch home that is one level and has a wrap around deck in the back
So nice to sit on the deck but sometimes the suns heat gets a little too much
So we have an umbrella for some shade
In the front we have a flag flying
Very proud of being an American and love to show the world
Around back we have a small fish pond
With lovely fish if they survive the summer
Sometimes they last a few days and we had times they almost lasted through the winter
A bird feeder hanging by the back deck
That the squirrel loves and the birds do too
On the back deck we have little white lights
When lit they look like the bow of a ship floating in the middle of the night
We have an apple tree around front
The apples are too tart but I try eating them anyway
There is a gravel drive way that crunches under our tires when we drive in and out
A wishing well sits quietly on the grass
I can't walk by without making one more wish
Then checking to see if it becomes reality
A rock wall stands firm holding it's ground
Showing off it's simple charm
You can see a shed if you peek around the corner
Where I hide all my summer stuff for the winter and the mighty snow blower
That has paid for itself many times over
Blazing through the nasty of winters
The green grass and just the right perfect weed combination covers the whole back yard
Scattered plants and wild rose bushes decorate with color
Two sweet small bedrooms and an a cozy little office are hidden under one roof
Topped off with an open kitchen and a den
Where we take in a little t.v. and I often fall asleep on the couch
If my home was a person it would be...
A lovely older woman who still has beauty and a sparkle
One that works out and feels great
Has a sexy shape with just a little belly
She has worked many years for the same company
Loyal and dedicated
Trustworthy and very creative
Healthy and a true friend
She dresses nice and catches the guys eye
When her hair blows wildly in the wind
Her eyes are a dark brown and a smile that pleases
Lips that tease followed by a wink
Your always feel welcome and there is no place you would rather be

Voted up and interesting. This was very creatively done. Your house sound so welcoming. My house would be a gentle, old lady who has retired and has her days when things creek and are not feeling too good but for the most part she feel comfortable, quiet and well like home.
Hi DREAM ON. What a lovely poem!! If my home was a person, it would definitely be my wife. Nothing makes the home cooler than one's spouse. Voted up, beautiful, awesome and interesting.
what a cool poem-what a cool home - and I, too would like to be like the the woman who is fit and feels great
