Poet Lane

Poet Lane

I felt a hammering of home

to heart,

deep within

the birdcage bones-

In a distant town~called Levittown 

country cruise, dreamer's brain

noticing a single street

this widely explored place....can it be my place.....

on Poet Lane.

For now it's a wonder

every writer's story

in travels, starts

or ends right here.

Quiet knows better parts of night

blinking stars viewed by blink less eyes,

days hum from highways traffic in competition 

busy bees return to hives,

softball cheers echo in the fade

of fields resting beyond the wooded pine.

Residents have long since drained

the voice of ink, 

upon blank sheets until blind defeat 

where a lonely populated place....is my place....

on an endless street...

Thank you so very much Lisa. Although this is a real street I encountered while driving through Levittown, all of us poets take up residence on Poet Lane. Peace!

A good morning,
