A Change of View and Lifestyle

The mountains arise all around Her skirts valleys trims that abound The court house stands antiquated For years law accommodated On square few stores in business No longer the attractiveness The beauty of the peach trees pink In bloom in the spring gone in a wink Packing sheds closed down different now Lifestyles different as fields once plow Nostalgia for days of the past Change is good but will it last In honor of: Michael J. Falotico Contest: "A Change of View" Since I have always lived in one place, I wrote about change....

I went back to my home place a few years ago. I was sorry to see the enormous change and not all for the better. I liked your poem. Love, Joyce

I see , you have not ever moved from there. But is it the same house too, SAra? that would be amazing if you were in the same neighborhood forever! I've been in my latest one now for 21 years. it's almost half my life. HARD to believe!!!

It's sad the way times change and thriving businesses fall, Sara. This is a very timely write as so many stores are vacant now. Perhaps when the economy improves, these businesses will return. I hope and pray that is the case. Sometimes change is good, but I too have nostalgia for "days of the past." Wishing you success in Michael's contest! Love, Carolyn

Hello Sara, This is such a wonderful poem, with a kind of sadness for the past. Progress is always on the move I am afraid. Loved this Sara As Always, Shar

Nostalgia, yes. Good write. I recall visiting my old elementary school ground - how small it looked - I remembered this huge 3 story building. I was shocked to discover the school had been turned into a bunch of small business offices. Love, daver
