A poem about moving across the country from the midwest to the west.

Brown maple branches
reach out to blue sky
Feeling so alone now
as tiime draws nigh

Shedding possessions
for journey ahead
Hard to say goodbye
the cleaning I dread

Mustard colored suitcases
brown lined, wool skirt
Don't need winter clothes
worn out, favorite shirt

I'll miss winter
not shovelling snow
I'll miss seasons
not sllergy woe

Will miss this home
wood paneled dining room
Large green kitchen
Evening view of moon

Missing brother and sisters
co-workers and friends
Have to use telephone
Facebook, e-mail them

 Reviews of "California Journey"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on September 22, 2022
That is a big change. I'm not sure exactly where you're headed, but I did that many years ago when I was able to move easily with everything I had in my car.

California winters can be dry and cool. Sweaters and wool clothing can come in handy. With water, you can grow anything in California. But it is very dry and brown compared to the Midwest.

In time, you will probably love living there, because I sure did.

Ron
