Home Sweet Home - Buzzwords

“Home, Sweet Home” by John Howard Payne Home Sweet Home -Buzzwords (Poem Sweet Home) I’ve been to a lot of lovely places But the poem-stead is my home. I’ve seen a lot of friendly faces But there’s only one place I call home. It’s where rhyme meets with free verse And alliteration’s free to roam. A place where most of us don’t curse Yes, the poem-stead is my home. 1-19-22 BUZZWORDS Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kim Rodrigues
