My Home Town (Alike All Others, Yet Very unique)
My Home Town …
Gazing about the edges of my home town, there is just so much to witness
Upon their sundry passages through time, residents and non take up their
respective paths throughout one spring’s day
One corner provides many such paths, bringing walkers and runners into
connection with those who savor their own visages in glass
Among those who move along roadways into time, those who but sit
alone pondering their own thoughts are scattered among freshly mowed
grasses and newly popped buds
As morning rays of newly born sun arise, patterning shadows crest
beyond a multitude of brick created buildings, awaking morning’s birds to
yawn and flutter inside bluest barren skies
Past where roadway lines break passage into two, one lithe young lady
awaits her pup to pee, then continuing her morning jog just to be summarily
jerked to a halt by her once again inquisitive pup
When noontime rays progress into daylight time, resting persons prepare
to devour lunching fare within cornered bistro or upon recently quaffed lawns
Moaning rays of sun’s bequeath yawn at latter day’s timing, bringing full touches
of heat and light inside the edges of my home town
Through unhindered town square, one multitude of residents surges taking their leave
of life, while others prepare for the weekly farmer’s market. A multitude of vendors prepare
their houses of sale, while clients shoot just within calling vein to possibly
purchase said wares
Interaction is quick, while preconceived, in quicksand passing of monies and
particles. as all provide sweet enjoyment of passing the time of day
Waning day brings yawning shadows, forming interaction of light and dark,
inclining that denying of activity, while activating another suite of repast
As tents are folded, purveyors abscond taking with them those who have
purchased with great glee in their steps
Awaiting for “possibly for ever,” patrons of music provided quietly assemble their
chairs for sweet hours of involved quiet. Man created lights provide this latest scene
with empowered quietly pursued ambiance, as all else in sight having gone to bed
So, here I am. Relate to me, please!

Theres always those little things that make home feel so unique and you have described them very well. Nice work my friend
Just what I have observed, sometimes on a continuing basis, making “My Home Town,” mine. Thank you, Paul, for the gift of a most valuable commodity – your time. Also, thank you for your comment, my friend!
I have often joked that the town I live in is so small there are maybe 150 people in all, counting the graveyard. I don’t know why, but a small group of elderly ladies have taken a liking to me when we moved here. So, every Friday, I try to make something special for them to take to our weekly coffee hour. Reading your words brought that to mind. I wouldn’t change those moments for the world. Thanks for sharing!
Tammy, you have made my early morning with your wonderful comments. Thank you for the gift of your most precious commodity, your time!
Nicely descriptive and filled with imagery. Well done Donald.
Tony, from one who I respect so much, your words mean so much to me. Thank you for gifting me your precious commodity of your time this morning!
A lovely day described so nicely. Well done, Donald. I have some catching up to do on commenting. I have been in the process of moving to a new home and still have a lot to unpack and settle in. I enjoyed reading about your home town.
Phyllis, you honor me with your gift of time this morning, while still in the middle of the melee which can be called moving. Enjoy, and thank you again!
Our hometowns always fill a special place in our hearts don’t they Donald. You described yours very well. Good job.
John, thank you very much for your visit and comment. Hometowns are always special for sure.
Thank you for your gift of that very special commodity, your time!
