The Central New York Branch of the NLAPW has promoted and encouraged the development of creative talents through this contest for 58 years. Journeys By Hannah Morris Constant journeys, back and forth Journey south, journey north Slipping and sliding on swirling snow Sometimes fast, sometimes slow Speeding under the shining sun Sometimes just for tons of fun Going here, going there Machines in states of disrepair Babies crying in brand new cars Rusting pickups under the stars Everyone’s on a different journey To a doctor, an attorney But everyone out on a roam Is eventually returning home To a new home or an old home, But home at last >From constant journeys, back and forth |
