A House, A Home

I don’t like houses. Cold, walls, paint and carpet. I feel down when I’m in a house. Tense, despairing, sadness and ick. Houses are depressing wherever you are. Empty, mould, wood and stones. Homes are better and soon you’ll see. Warmth, caring, happy and love. I feel up when I’m in a home. Genial, cuddle, snuggle and sleep. Homes are somewhere you can smile in a pinch. Sunny, super, sparkling and satisfied. You don’t have a place when you’re in a house. The true comfort zone is a home.
