Shownotes
From a Home, to a House
Gunneet Kaur Bhamra
From the place, where comfort was found,
And people meant happiness and laughter.
From the lazy and cozy mornings,
And chattering and cheery evenings.
From those late-night family games and gossips,
Because “tomorrow's a holiday... what a bliss!”
To the place where comfort is only sought,
Where people mean suffocation.
To busy and chilly dawns,
And gloomy and exhausting dusks.
To these late-night family dramas and decisions,
Because “tomorrow's a holiday… what the hell?”
Yeah, I wanted to grow, and so I have!
But I didn't want to travel,
from a carefree, loud childhood,
To a responsible, silent adolescence;
from a home, to a house!
Take me back to the delightful hours in the sunlit veranda.
Take me back to the chaos of the crowded kitchen.
Take me back, for once - just once - to my home...

One Poem Only submissions are open.
I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
