We invite submissions on the subject of home.  What is it, and where?  How do you know when you are home?  Who's there? 

We hope to receive submissions from all age groups and from around the world.  We do not have a fixed deadline for this collection. When we have enough poems to create a meaningful collection, we will stop accepting submissions.

home(n.)
Middle English hom, from Old English ham, home "dwelling place, house, abode, fixed residence; estate; village; region, country," from Proto-Germanic *haimaz "home," which is reconstructed to be from a suffixed form of PIE root *tkei- "to settle, dwell, be home."

Figuratively as the seat or location (of faith, love, etc.) from late Old English. As an adverb in Old English; as an adjective from 1550s. Early plural sometimes was hamen, homen.

Germanic cognates include Old Frisian hem "home, village," Old Norse heimr "residence; village; world," heima "home," Danish hjem, Middle Dutch heem, German Heim "home," Gothic haims "village." The old Germanic sense of "village" is preserved in English place names in -ham, German -heim, etc., and in hamlet. (etymonline.com)
