Ohio My Home

Ohio My Home Ohio my childhood home A simpler life An innocent time A place where corn fields go on for miles and miles The fields wave and sway beckoning you To make secret forts in their midst Our original corn maze In there we eat cow corn Never thinking to ask Was it fresh or clean? It was organic at its best Playing in the water down at the “crick” No such worries of a chemical spill No one got sick No parents around Nobody drowned Tornadoes come by What a scary thrill Mother Nature at her worst Toppling trees each way Providing us a strange place to play In between the branches We made our mansions Safe maybe not... But we played anyway Far from the city lights We spend our nights Watching natural sights UFO’S hovering over Tall trees in the front yard In an eerie alien fog Fireflies glowing looking for love The tree frogs are singing out for a mate Mother raccoons bring their young from the nest As skunks delight us with their odorous best All under the Moons sight As I close my eyes I can see Ohio my memory home (Yes there were UFO's) Pat LeDuc February 9, 2018

This was great and truly did bring back some hometown memories. Those were the days. Oh, and do UFOS exist? Ancient Alien Theroists say Yes!!!. :)

Yes UFOS do exist. I saw one hovering over the trees in my front yard in Ohio. It held my gaze and then suddenly it disappeared into the night. There were sightings reported the next day from all over the state :). Some called it" swamp gas" over the miles of corn and soybean plants but I know better :))

Patricia my dear friend, The finest Madonnas are found in homes, not in museums.

While I was writing this my grand daughter wondered why I was writing about Ohio. She didn't know I grew up there. It was a wonderful time to share my memories with her. Thank you for your support. :))
