April Tanka #12
My name is Jamie Lee Hamann and I started writing poetry on Hubpages back in 2013. Every year I share a poem a day in April.
New Neighborhoods
A construction crew
work multiple foundations
in new neighborhood
world changes too soon
once land of Sagebrush
high quality two story
tract homes with nice yard
maybe bird feeder
just yesterday stud
covered by miles of sheet rock
settled wet concrete
once lived Jack Rabbit
cleared the birds reed home
flattened earth with bulldozer
secure grounded planks
nests built in transplant
on timber fence line
once available open
filled with private lives
hidden valley floor
this neighborhood starts
as display of dull color
along farther line
to new horizon.
