Day 21 of National/Global Poetry Writing month (AKA NaPoWriMo) is extra special as the poem is about home and appears on page 3 in this week’s local paper The City Pages Abode issue. As we spring-clean our abodes, remember those who put the heart in hearth and home. Love, Dawn

Hearth and Home
Hearth and home
as ancient as the first abodes.
In our center the home-fire
filing our bellies with the sustenance
of love and trust.
Pretense cannot enter here
for at home our hair unbound
we speak our truth
over bowls of hearty soup.
Welcome home
for contentment and wellbeing live here
untouched by distant thunder,
they are only rumblings
outside our hygge cozy.
