Haiku Friday: Small Towns


 I grew up in a village. Sure, it was the Village of Grosse Pointe Shores, but still... it was kind of a small town. 

And I love lots of the small towns I go through with some regularity, like Grand Marais, Minnesota. Let's haiku about those smaller communities this week. Here, I will go first:

Goldfield, Nevada
Once the biggest in the state
Now just dust and hope.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun.

The sign outside said ice cream
But you would not stop

Kingsville was a place
like Cheers: everyone knew
your name. You felt safe.

Friendly, slower pace,
A sense of community,
My local small town

“We love trees!” says the
Town Council, as they make deals
to cut them all down.

Everyone knew your name,
No getting away from here,
Going to Madrid.
