My poem, "Leaving home for the last time"



This week I was pleased to have a poem of mine, "Leaving home for the last time," published in the online journal Juniper Poetry.  You can read the poem HERE.

It was based on my final visit, in June 2017, to our farm in PEI before it was sold. I actually wrote about that visit in a previous blog post as well. But poetry always takes things in a slightly different direction -- leaving out some bits and homing in on others.

I had submitted this poem to seven other places before Juniper took it. It is always gratifying when a piece finds just the right home.
