Centralia

You want to know from where am I
I'll send an image through to your eye
It's big enough for an Amtrack station
In basketball we've smoked the nation
There's fast food chains and lots of trains
Some people feel good some are in pain
There's aristocrats and lots of old money
Even some folks who don't think that's funny
There's a shopping mall on one side of town
Many people whom I would call clowns
A small airport for people who fly
Funeral homes for people that die
Bars and churches filled with people alike
Good safe streets for people on bikes
Plenty of jobs for blue and white collar
A couple of folks who'll beg for a dollar
A history museum filled with lots of cool stuff
Real nice one too if you're that kind of buff
Beautiful golf courses one's by the lake
Sounds pretty good and yes you're awake
You can feel right at home if you ever go there
Stop in for a visit and enjoy the fresh air

  1. Nice poem! You did a good job with imagery. Every line was descripted enough with details to paint a nice picture of where you're from
