147 South Street
Our Historical home in a small New England town.8 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, 147 South Street, though not shaped as such, reads as a Shakespearean sonnet would, in that the home's downsides are pointed out, while the conclusion allows that no place could be better. Nice.

Thank you so very much for this great review. I love to write and especially writing poems.
Comment from Wendy G
I can see this old home vividly, and it is filled with warmth and humour, as is the writing of the poem. You have composed it thoughtfully and well, admitting its faults, but loving it just the same. best wishes for your entry.

Thank you so much for this great review. I enjoy writing poems and also enjoy writing with humour as that is also how I navigate throughout my life...with much humour in these challenging times.

your house sounds comfortable to live in. I like the descriptions you gave, and old houses always need a fixer upper every once in a while. We live in an old house and have an old bathtub.

Excellent entry for the House Poem writing prompt contest. Your house in New England sounds great. I love old victorian houses.
Nice flash fiction in its entirety, though brief, compelling in structure and presentation.
Good luck in the contest.

We also live in a house that was built in the thirties. It has many squeaks and rumbles going to the kitchen. What a wonderfully written poem.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Comment from John Ciarmello
This brought beautiful imagery to an older home. I saw every nook and cranny of your home. What wasn't told was imagined. I even smelled the musty cellar and heard the traps snap, Ugh! It took me to your home. It's okay I felt I had to get out of the house anyway, lol. Best wishes with the contest.

Comment from Jake Short
I liked this a lot! It was fun to read and several clever moments. Your words painted an excellent picture of your home, where it was, and what condition it was in. Very cute to have a name for a critter found in the house and well incorporated into the house's story.
