Your House (poem) by Michelle Close Mills on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on March 2, 2016

It's amazing to me how the sight of a house we once knew, can bring so many memories and even recapture the very feeling of being there. You are excellent at painting the picture of that stirring feeling. Thank God for memories---and for grandmas and others who bequeath their love to our hearts.

Love,
Connie

You recital is wonderful, Michelle. You did a great job, excellent emotional tones painted your words. These podcasts are very cool and once we hear the voice of the author reading their creations. From now on when I read your poems, I will do so hearing your voice and that is a special treat.

Powerful description of the building that made you and your precious family memories - and of the wonderful family who gave it life! I still dream regularly of the farm where I grew up until I was 10. Of course it "belongs" to you - and, likewise, your love and laughter is embedded in the plasterwork somewhere. This is deeply touching, Michelle, thank you. Kate xx

Michelle, this is a touching and loving tribute to a Grandmother that you felt such a deep compassion and love for. Her wisdom and nurturing shines in these words, for she now lives through your memories.
Happy Holidays Michelle.

Good memories are hard to lose...my childhood home, as with many old homes on the NJ shoreline, has been torn down to make way for condo's, apartments and stores on the boardwalk...ah, progress, it really does just suck...Ed

I liked this one and all old houses that are passed onto others bring the same memories to others. This is a very good write.

This hit close to home, very close. My favorite person in the whole world, my grandmother, passed away last June. Her home and my memories were much the same. Best of luck to you.
