~Home~
Home to me is... green hills and rolling pastures. Perseverance, originated by our forebearers whom in fact, were this Lands founding masters.
The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West the Seasons set the mood; For peace, love, and much rest Where good-tilled earth means plenty of food.
Never too cold, the weather is just right, we gather outdoors in vast numbers; To sit around a fire bright, And hear the tales of Ages past, long descended into slumber.
Home to me is... spending countless nights alone a-walking treading the paths without a sound; Or to gather inside a warm tavern to listen to all the gossip amidst all the talking. The Seasons continue their turning of the Wheel 'round.
The years pass very fast... It soon seems as if I can no longer live in harmony. I feel that my Home has no further use of me. It is then that I cast my eyes upon the Sea.
I see the grand vessel which will bear me hence, I reflect upon my past with few regrets. I have seen much, and have accomplished even more; Now, I journey to my eternal Home, upon the distant Shores.

Hi Brandybuck.
I have to say that was great. ;D Awesome flow. I usually have some trouble with reading poetry (don't ask why, because I have no idea LOL!), but that flowed very evenly.
Sincerely, Laurasia

Stitch, LOL! Do not worry sweetie. One day I will compose a poem with roaming bunnies in it, and I will dedicate it to you. Seriously, thank you for the positive feedback. Now that my writer's block has lifted, I am able to write from my heart again.

Great poem! It had a nice rhyme without taking away from the body of the poem at all. I find it so hard to rhyme, and when I do it usually sounds so fabricated. But this was really well done. Congrats!

Thank you very much Aelish. A lot of times when I was stuck in my writer's block, I would try to write, and it would all come out sounding so wrong that I was scared to post it anywhere. But I can honestly say that I am proud of this poem.
