Here’s the poem:
Where the Heart Lives
Here and now, in the moment
Late summer sounds float through the window
crickets echo, The rhythmic creak
Soon quieted by cool temperatures
Mindful echoes
Suburban activities
The railways hum, acrid stench of highway fumes
Broken by a sweet honeysuckle Scent-Ribbon
Voices, car doors, and barking dogs
Replaced by after dark stillness
By dew, new grass, skunk
Presence
Human touch
Holding hands before
Slipping off to sleep
A hug and kiss from a friend
The release of laughter or tears During a phone call
A sense of doing, of being
Awareness of the body, of blood, pulse
Breath, and purpose.
Home.

Dear Ann,
It is Oprelle Publication’s great honor to congratulate you on being chosen as the
Third Place Winner in the
2023 “Coming Home” Poetry Contest
This contest was uniquely challenging in that the competition drew awarded and published writers as well as complete novices ...where so many times, we find diamonds! Needless to say, the Coming Home competition always draws some tough contenders. Our judges really enjoyed your poem, Where the Heart Lives.
Your lines like,
" Presence
Human touch
Holding hands before
Slipping off to sleep"
will not soon be forgotten. We really enjoyed your poem's gentle journey in imagery and thought.
Your writing will gain excellent exposure because your poem and name will be featured in the upcoming “Coming Home” Anthology. The book will be in a 5.5 by 8.5 layout. We are looking forward to a really beautiful paperback later this year. We would also like to hear from our winners about their visions for the book cover. If any idea would strike a chord with our designers…who knows?
