dVerse Poets

“write a poem showing the beauty of your city or why you love the city you live in presently”

***

Houston

never thinking I would look back to love this city

first impressions—hot, humid, crowded and too “Texan”

a New England naive bride stepped out to wet blanket odorous air

attitudes I could not understand yet found interesting

mind expanding to see and hear wonderful diversity

busy, loud, exciting and new cultures to explore

thankful now for the experience I had and now sometimes miss.

***

***interesting to note and sad that Houston being an open minded diverse atmosphere is something that my current Wyoming city will never be
