Flying Down the Highway

Listen to poem:
Eastern townships Land of settlers A blur across centuries The land my father loved Land of my ancestors Miles of nostalgia Farmland at rest Barns with cows and horses Hills and valleys Stretching for miles Music to my heart Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~FLYING DOWN THE HIGHWAY~ 2019 Also published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~A SIMPLE MAN~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on June 18, 2021 for contest ALL YOURS (JUN 19) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on January 17, 2019

Oh I love a country drive; when you pay attention, you can almost feel those ancestors riding with you.
