My Old Hometown

quaint chats, district twangs,
greet my shell clad ear as I step,
on grey day mist platform,
childhood echoes rife,
sign rust, green flake post box, stuffed waste bin,
cute named antique street birthright,
one true home found

A nice small place where everyone knows each other and can enjoy each other's company then go home to enjoy the "privacy" and love of home. I enjoyed reading this one, Howard. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sara K
