Museum At Home

A sitting room wall,
Adorned with paintings and crafts
-a life's souvenirs.

Murphy's Haiku #52

It's when I'm relaxed,
Honey, take down the trash please!
-simply never fails.

Murphy's Haiku #47

After long train ride,
I finally arrive home!
-my keys locked inside.

Home Sweet Home

After Grandpa died,

Mom told us he was back home

-thanksgiving dinner

In steerage for weeks,

They came on deck to see home

-lady liberty.

Summer camp over,

There was a long bus ride back

-home seemed to be new.

At meeting Boss says:

"I'm giving myself a raise!

-you can all go home."

Coming home again,

I felt like a stranger there

-after the war, distance.

I walked through the ward,

knowing this was home to them

-children's hospital.

When young, home was huge!

I went away to college

-then I found it small.

Victory touchdown!

After losing all season

-happy homecoming.

For One Single Impression

Seen Enough?

Our home twenty years,
Now we are told to get out
-officer by door!

A Summer Day's End

On the night train home,
A little girl runs between seats
-parents fall to sleep.

Weeknight Homecomings

I ride the train home,
And when I walk through the door
-you run up to me.
