Repost: Missing the State of Maine

Well, this is a funny letter. I ended up taking this letter and making a series of poems about it that're in my creative thesis. I didn't realize that they were inspired by this post until I found it today!

Dear Maine,

How are you today? Is the weather nice? Is everything shiny, new or renewed and exciting?

Are my little PITAS respectful as they wander around in the free world? Are they as excited about their new lives like I was when I first moved away?

I keep thinking about the red maple trees along the diagonal path behind the library. It’s not coming until a few weeks from now, but it is my favorite thing to see. I go there in my brain when I stare out the kitchen window with my eyes on the willow tree.

Today and some more todays to come, I'll be thinking about your wide and winding roads and surprise views from every twist.

yours forever,

Me
