Four (big) Words -- a 'poem' for "Get Listed for May, 2015"

Blood, house (home),

face, and suburb

Blood on the moon

While you're at home

Fear on your face

Suburb fallout

Blood on his knife

You're home alone

Death on his face

Suburb castle

Blood on the floor

His, in your house

Shot in his face

Suburb is safe

 

Above:  Various houses I've visited.  The one on the lower left is Hemmingway's backyard study in Key West, Florida.  Next on the right is a monastery high up in the hills of Greece. I've been in both of these.

I am linked with grapeling  at the Real Toads, Get Listed for May: Pablo Neruda

 

 - Grapling's instructions were to "please write a new poem for this prompt using at least 3 of the list words (or reasonable variants), post it to your own site, and link to that specific poem (not just your blog)." 

 - His resource for this prompt was "the list from the (translated) poems of Pablo Neruda, specifically, from the bilingual edition Pablo Neruda - Selected Poems (Houghton Mifflin, 1970)."

 - I used this one:  "from "I'm Explaining a Few Things", page 151 (PoemHunter.com again): suburb, face, house, blood."  I took the liberty to use the word Home instead of House where I felt it to be more appropriate for my poem.
