the home place

The house
seems smaller.
Silent.
Matured
pecan trees
shelter
our past.
Another
lifetime.
Clover
spreads where iris
once grew.

    I’m lucky. I’m living in my home place. Good idea to write about it.

    Touching. I used to feel the same when I went by the house where I grew up in Searcy. We had a pecan tree in the back yard and my dad loved flowers so there were all kinds of old fashion flowering bushes, roses and spring flowers. The house was still in pretty good shape last time I drove by, but the neighborhood wasn’t so I vowed to stay away and just remember the block when it was new and every house had children in it. I had a great childhood!
