Poem

Reminiscing

This is my first time doing a quadrille.
Written for dVerse Quadrille
.

City Island, The Bronx, New York

My husband grew up
on an island;
perhaps that’s why
he’s a man
unto himself.

At the end
of each street
was a lagoon
stretching out
into the ocean.

He reminisces that
a childhood on
City Island
was the best way
to grow up.
