Alli, thanks! I'm familiar with this term and I love it. A poet friend even invented a form based on the term. Thanks for the reminder--I will share in a post and tag you!

Beautiful Ellen and the word Home in a poem always opens me to curiosity of what makes the poet’s place a home. Yours feels good to me 💛

Thank you, Holly. I agree, home is more a feeling of living in a sacred place. I feel fortunate to live where I do.
