Looking for Home

we need adult pants to confront our dreams demise before time waves bye ~ moving to a sunny state might turn our sadness around no more lush yard land useful outbuildings scattered old farmhouse we love maybe sad byes to willows ~ then hi to palms and beaches we felt this was home an old house where we belonged not our shared fate though so to sun state we will drive ~ with frowns to wear in some months

This poetry was enjoyable to me. The idea of being forced to relocate from such an idyllic area made me sad.

OK. Hitch up those 'big girl pants' and get a move on. Attack it, instead of 'defending,' and who knows what great places and people might lie ahead!! ~ Mr. Sunshine

Sounds like a sad goodby to the willows, with some sunshine up ahead. Confronting one's dreams demise - that's a tough one.

Weird, we seem to be in the same vein just a little bit. This is beautiful, beautiful, CayCay! <3

I enjoyed this poem. Felt sad with the notion of having to leave such a pastoral place.

We got beaches in Texas, CayCay. Florida is probably better if you don't mind to hurricane prep every year. I enjoyed you poem, my friend. Bill

I see you are describing your move away from that horrid landlord and down to your sunny beach. What a grand transition in your life . It's cool how you used a personal story for this contest
