Your poem captures exactly how I felt at a similar age in 1963, when we moved from Morristown NJ to…

… old memories that live in the cracked pavement, red bricks, and ancient trees that line the parks. It’s where I was born and lived until we moved when I was seven. Plucked from a landscape that fed my mind and eased my soul and comforted me when I felt different. This poem captures a little of what went through my mind in the summer of 1960.

Your poem captures exactly how I felt at a similar age in 1963, when we moved from Morristown NJ to Missouri. I HATED moving. NEVER felt like MO was home...Ended up fleeing for the west coast in my mid 20s.
