I am enjoying the poems my Xanga friends are writing.  Today is the theme: Hometown. I chose to write a free verse poem to express my thoughts on this theme.

My Hometown

“What’s your hometown?” people would ask of me.

What would I say: Could it be the place in which my life began?

Or perhaps it’s the town from which my parents hailed?

Or maybe it’s one of the other places which once I called my home?

But after I met my husband, the answer quite easily became –

My home town is here -- where my sweetheart and I are now one!
