Vacant Lot, Paducah, Kentucky Comments

Hey George! Stopped by and read this little gem. I love the rhythmic feel of it with its mix of iambs and anapests and they rhyming couplets. I've always been a big fan of metrical and rhyming poems - though they seem to have fallen out of vogue. Love this poem, love the nostalgia. I seemed to get hung up a bit on stanza 2 line 5, but yeah. awesome stuff. Regards.

I enjoyed this nostalgic write George and the line (Where sister's young mister would kiss her and grope) brought a smile to my face.

We've stopped in Paducah many times in our travels. The city honors its past and welcomes visitors with its arts. But how well I understand this poem. I've seen such vacant lots, too. I revisit the homes of my childhood with regret. They aren't the same; some of them aren't there; their beauty and warmth has evaporated with time. Ah, me.
