A Yankee Visits New England

Web admin 11/04/2017     Arts and Culture, Opinion, Poetry

By Roberta Curley

 

I had a moment,

I was in the moment.

Grace brought me here,

grace will take me home.

Birds travel safe,

I will glide too

as the sun, herculean, rises

like lemon meringue pie.

Ducks dance on water

beneath my window panes.

A New Hampshire waltz

pulls me to its brightness,

bouncing on air.

Thus I entered,

thus I leave.
