Poetry Pick

LONG WAY HOME by Elaine Traviss Ontario, Canada

Rusted bucket in the woods Covered with autumn leaves Beside a falling down sap shanty Precise rows of towering firs Grown from seeds planted By long gone grandparents Hideout in an evergreen Toboggan hill Wide open back forty Vehicle graveyard Sprayed with buckshot Spiderwebs and dust Broken treehouse Hidden in cedars beside A leaning drivehouse We don’t live here anymore
