Premium Member Teal Store

In my small hometown,
A steel door of a teal store
Always wide open,
People coming and going,
Items paid and spoken for.

My Hometown

Corn stalks dance
In abandoned fields
          Like wispy ghosts
    Without their husks
As children revel tirelessly
Midwestern skies sapphire encrusted.

Hometown

Oh, good morning faceless man 
It's going to be another summer 
Let's think of a way to get along 
I'm pursuing your wickedness

I want to play 

Peace ??

Herald the black and gold
Helmet's ebony eye

Hefty touchdown trophies
Hometown game day glory
Hawkeyes football is back!

Premium Member Criss-Crossing the Land

     Criss-crossing the skies and land
     From mountains to meadows 
     From rivers and lakes to sand

        Trains, cars, buses, planes ~
        Liberation from hometown chains

emergency

If ever presented with a platter of choices 
I shall choose a certain kind of calmness.
Unlike the one which holds leaves together before storm,
I choose the kind mingled on faces of ambulance drivers
Of my hometown.

Two Pups

On Sunday, my sister drive 
us to church. 
On the way, we see two pups
in the entrance 
of a driveway of a home.
Two brown pups stand still
to see the morning traffic.
A comfort of joy 
refresh a love 
toward our hometown.

In

Quiet 
Dark night a
Man abandoned his
Lifetime hometown to search a new
Life that brings him better opportunities to grow
Returning many years in an unrecognizable and respectful gentleman

Binary Finery

The British are first to confess
This binary stuff is a mess
For Men's toilet walls show
- a century ago -
"Gentlemen, please do up your dress!"*

Premium Member By The Streetlamp

Standing beneath a streetlamp 
At my hometown country fair 
An odor so refreshing 
Was lingering through the air 
Thinking about my sweetheart 
With my hands upon her hips 
And feeling my heart; beating  
From the flavour of her lips

Premium Member The Closer We Get

The closer we get, the louder we get.
The louder we get, the closer we get.

The closer we get, the younger we become.
The closer we get, the more memories pop up.

Heaven or your hometown? You choose.
Hint: There is no wrong answer.

Premium Member Cameo- Once Upon a Time

A stone font and white duck found it renown
This ancient saxon hill-fort town-
Growing to wealth around its four squares
With regular markets and seasonal fairs
Buying and selling sheep,cattle and mares.

Tribute to my hometown Aylesbury
Form: Narrative

Home

Someone must miss a home.
Although a hometown
has become a city,
it will always be a muse.
Not only poets
express their longing.
And words do nothing
to break this longing.
But I have not reached
my hometown yet.

Premium Member Idyllic

I watch fields, as nature
Invites pastoral bliss…
Irises and oaks glow
Imbued with morn’s fresh soil;
Igniting  rural charm
In  mind’s eye . O hometown
Illumines peace … earth’s gift!

Premium Member Retiree Returnee

Maunakea comes
into view. Coastlines 
from right side windows.
Hilo, my hometown.
Soon we’ll be landing.

I feel the plane
stop and cargo
door with luggage
bumps hold, thumps ramp.

Passengers
and crew says
Aloha.

Flowered
crowned lei.

FRUITS!

Premium Member A Step Back In Time

in silence
the shire plods his path
in footsteps of the past

Note: On holiday recently,we took a trip by canal barge pulled this way.Very evocative for me, as on my mother's side,her forbears were canal people,and thats how they happened to arrive here in my hometown.

The Prison Lights

The prison light are
never turned off.
The darkness would
give the
prisoners' imagination to
run and dance in the
fields full of flowers;
to joyfully stroll in the 
streets of their
distant hometown.
The lights are
just dimmed.

The prison bars are
ever visible.

Clown

Do I look like a clown
My hairs black 
My eyes brown
Do I look like a clown
My clock is stuck
My star is down
Do I look like a clown
I don't work in circus
Lhr is my hometown
Do I look like a clown..
In a country as psychotic as this any other response would be crazy.

My Hometown Sun Is Unique

This city of mine
where the sun does not hide,
extends the horizon,
until the evening...
The hours of sunshine
beat our skins
 with beneficial lashes...
This happens until the night
cover us with kisses...
The night caresses us
 at sunset, as
 we were its own
night landscape... !

Premium Member Twisted Clouds

Veiled by twisted clouds, the sun shrunk, the sky turned purple black and my hometown morphed into junk; as though shredded by flack. Trees got torn from the ground and I cannot rebound; for my home's now a mound. The dead, draped in shrouds; veiled by twisted clouds.

Premium Member Home Town Snowman- Upside Down World

There once was a snowman from my hometown
 Who constantly viewed the world upside down
                  But he had a bad condition
            Eyes weren't in the right position
Somehow his eyes were stuck looking at the ground

The South

Running through the fields
after the long drive
right into your arms
A little 'ole place
up in the country side
that's where I belong
miles away from my hometown
Call me a hick but i don't care
it's where I feel I belong
Someday it will come
my journeys well rewarded
making everything feel complete

Rooting For 8 To 5

My ancient spirit walks with me through time
Past our old hometown into barbed city existence --

And though sagas of ventures test every flight
This mystic lore from elders to conquer darkness 
Stirs a live potion flowing within  my bloodline.

Seeing Off My Guests

Fast wind sees off a dying year
The sense of fall strong
Hurriedly I see off my guests to my hometown
The Double Ninth Day is near
I wish my friends to cheer

Eking out a living as alien here
Has cost me half a year
Nice teachers I see everywhere
What a book of lessons dear
I read The Story of A Stone to my ear

(1975)

Premium Member We Three Snowmen of Detroit

We three Snowmen of Detroit are
Bearing scarves and lights, we travelled so far
Field and fountain, more and mountain
Sledding is more fun than our car.

We three Snowmen of Detroit say hi.
Sliding into place, with a laugh, not a sigh.
Landing in your hometown but staying not long.
To stay through July would just be wrong.
