Humble Little Home

Slowly burning coals make a soft yellow glow
A cabin in the woods draped in billowy snow
Smoke pouring out a chimney stained so black
Tired feet feeling sore from a long day’s track
Neither better place nor more welcome can be sung
Than a humble little home where a hat may be hung
Shutting out the stormy world once inside the door
A time to sip on tea and warm some soup I adore
And dressed in flannel long johns curling up with book
Drift in time my endless dreams ‘till sleep overtook

Hi Yankee,

The word that comes to mind is cozy. Appreciating those little things like a roof over your head, a warming fire and some food. What more could you ask for? wine

Really enjoyed this sweet warm cosy poem Yankee excellent
Neither better place nor more welcome can be sung

Your poem was like a moving picture in my mind.
I love 'Humble'. Simple yet so satisfying. It takes a lifetime for some to realise it's power.
Thanks for sharing.

The simple joys of life are the best. Nothing beats the warmth of the hearth fire and the smell of a wood stove to drive out the cold on a winter day. Thank you for your kind reflections and for stopping by. Many thanks.

This is a great poem it explains you and how simple things need to be appreciated in life. Don't let the simple things in life pass you bye without appreciating it. Keep writing i love it. I am not materialistic woman and love the small things in life they make my day.

Hi Yankee


That cabin in the woods appears the most compelling and inviting of havens - a thoughtful whimsical write.
