Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Crumbled Memories

Ah, memories
        that crumbled to the ground that day;
      my childhood home, surrounded by tall trees-
        demolished, swept away.
  For progress sake . . . a bridge was built from town to town;
  to span the river- house and trees were wrested down-
    uprooted hearts, in sorrow, drown.
  Crumbled memories hold fast- weeping in the breeze.
