Theme Thursday

The Place Where You Live
This week's theme has to do with our surroundings. Take a picture of something that you feel is a good representation of the city, town, state, province, country, etc. etc. that you live in.

This is a pretty image (left) of Chehalis taken from behind the area we live. The hillside is the view we have from home. In 1851 the land that is now the city of Chehalis was part of Stuart Schuyler Saunders' 640-acre claim. In 1872 that land was incorporated into the city of Saundersville. The name was later changed to Chehalis. I've lived in Chehalis for almost 30 years. Before that I grew up in a small town SE of Chehalis. It's not a bad place to live exept when the floods come. There is almost no high ground to most of the city and quite a substantial portion of it is under water during the worst floods. I won't mention the crop circles that crop up everysooften in a corn field south of Chehalis except to say there is a portion of our population who insist the circles are caused by ETs, but most folks including the students themselves think the circles are merely the prank of over zealous college students! (BTW, these photos are not mine, found them online).

Really? I thought I'd rather be alone!

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?
