writing feels like
writing feels like coming home
like a piece of my heart was missing
yet is finally back into place
where have you been?
writing asks
away & homesick
i reply
writing has no judgment
or resentment
just a welcoming hug
that cracks my back
writing tastes like
lemon icebox pie
on my birthday
writing smells like
dew in the morning
on the trees that surround me
writing sounds like
cicadas screaming in early summer
waiting & waiting
writing feels like coming home

You say it perfectly. What a gorgeous poem!
What a great way to start our month of writing together.
The good thing about writing is the fact that is the same for many but different in its sameness.
Lemon ice box pie. I love that there’s a flavor associated. Makes the whole poem feel fresh!
Deeply felt.
I started half a month early I was missing June so much. Love your images of “summer”
Love this coming home poem! Beautiful!
