Welcome Home
The sign on the bridge
across the Ohio read
welcome but it was
the cicadas who sang it
so we knew we’d arrived home.

ahhh, lovely, the real welcome!
I love this, but I have a thought for you to consider.
That last line feels clumsy. At first I thought I’d ask you to consider “we were home,” but reading the poem several more times, I need to ask if that last line is even needed. You’ve done such a splendid job of SHOWING! Just something to think about. (Feel free to ignore me.)
