April 14th Prompt

Today, the challenge is to approach place in a slightly new way.

Write a poem in which you speak to a place. This could come in the form of a letter. You could turn a place into a person through personification and have a conversation with it. Regardless of the method, what would you say to this place? How do you feel about it? Do you have any words of wisdom or advice? Any reason to say thanks to it?

Today's poem comes to us from Sheri Grutz and is entitled Afternoon Interval. About herself, she writes "Grutz has a B.A. in English from The University of Iowa where she spent one semester in the workshop. She has been published in Lyrical Iowa, Dead Earth Review and Emerge Literary Journal."
