Haiku

After a trip home to East Tennessee, in writing group we tried our hands at haiku.


Nostalgia
Drive past the overlook,
remember those happy times--
a toxic city
-----
The schoolhouse is gone,
replaced by a jungle gym--
children still prevail
-----
Drive the Cade's Cove loop,
deer grazing in green pastures--
watch them watching us

  1. Thanks, Bob! I loved growing up in Oak Ridge, and miss it a lot--but at the same time realize some of its disadvantages. Miss the Smokies also.
