From My Hometown Poems
You captured the violence of that day and the power of nature to leave us in awe. Very moving.
Thank you. It was a devastating day. I'll never forget it and I'm not sure I'll get over those trees.
Touching reminder of a shocking day & it’s widespread destruction.
Thanks, Trudy. I pulled it out the other day.
“They were never my trees but I mourn them ...”
Great job capturing the emotional aftermath in the entire poem!
Thanks, Kyle. Did you still live in Slater?
Yes! Was working from home that day, and our son also was home. It was such a surprise. And struck so fast. We didn’t have any full-growth trees to lose at our house, but we helped clear some from other yards.
I feel your pain!
Beautiful!
