Written for:  Poetic Bloomings2 - Prompt #395 - Going Home

"Today’s prompt takes us to our comfort zone – home. Write about home past or present – yours or someone else’s. There’s home plate, home base, home run… anything home will do."


Brooklyn, the cradle
that rocked me as
I grew.  For years,
the only place I knew
to call home.

Later, I traveled,
mostly within
the States, and one
trip to Italy
I will never forget.

While it is true
that our country
is divided, and much
healing is needed,
I think about, 
and watch news
from Ukraine.  Whole
country of people
who only want peace
in which to enjoy
their home.  How I hope
they will return
to their land
and rebuild
from the ashes.
