Forever Home engagingly recreates the life of four generations on a family farm through the poet's senses, memory, and imagination. The book's fifty-four autobiographical poems employ an imagistic free verse, and as expected in this mode, they are all less than a page long, many containing fewer than ten lines. Moore's lines are short and turn over quickly and frequently, which suits the poems' impressionistic tone. Further underscoring their immediacy, Moore uses present tense in most of the poems; however, like Williams in his imagistic lyrics, Moore also favors stanzaic structure, which enables the poems to work like snapshots, preserving the past and nurturing the present.
