Poem and Creative Notes
driving home
on different roads
and streets
these trees are taller
I remember places
that only exist in photos
and memories now
and then
the beauty
of today

I searched this site to see if I had published this poem before, and I rediscovered this Guest Post by Carol Purington (April 6, 2017). Her tanka are wonderful. The phrase in common is “driving home.”
You can visit Carol Purington at Woodslawn Farm, and read her new post there for March 2019.

the last of the winter squash

the poem you wrote recalling
