Annette Keller Poet Verse

Kaleidoscope

The seasons on the highway
Are different than those at 
home
We see them through a 
kaleidoscope
Of glass and steel and chrome
The view beyond the window
Depends on where we roam
But never will the seasons look
The same as those at home
The kaleidoscopes swirl of 
colored light
Is the world of our daily grind
While home is the world of 
family
Where we safely leave our 
loved ones behind
It really doesn’t matter where 
the highway may lead
Home is never very far from 
our mind
And so with our hearts and 
home so deeply entwined
Is it any wonder that visions of 
home 
Are without a doubt our 
favorite kind

Pia Patricia Tenedero August 11, 2013 at 10:06 PM Hi Annette! Your poem is fun and meaningful. I mean to ask your permission to reprint it in an English Reading textbook I'm currently writing for grade 6 pupils. I am most certain they will have fun reading "Kaleidoscope" just as much as I did. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and God bless! Sincerely, Pia Tenedero Annette Keller August 11, 2013 at 11:08 PM Hi Pia! Wow, this is a unbelievable honor! I would love to give my permission for this! I am thrilled that my work will be seen by English students. I am a college student myself, in an English Creative Writing Program. What do I need to do for you, so that you may proceed with your book? I would also like to request a copy of the textbook, for myself, when finished. That will be a wonderful treasure! I will be looking forward to your response. Many Blessings! Annette Keller
