East Texas (Poem by Mark Borne)

Author's Note: How many of you actually understand exactly what I mean with every line of this poem? Actually, at that rate, how many of you even know what the fifth line means? xD

Lush green grass,
Sky full of stars;
Trees that grow and die,
Dark, bumpy back roads.
"That's what I like about Texas!"
The smell of a ranch,
Can't read the signs you want to.
There's no place like home,
And my home will always be,
East Texas.

  1. Man, this poem makes me want to go to East Texas! It's so...nastolgic for nothing i've experienced.

    Alright, i'm giving it a go:

    Lush green grass,
    Sky full of stars;
    Trees that grow and die,
    Dark, bumpy back roads.--These are all physical descriptions. No need to interperate

    "That's what I like about Texas!"--I would say this is just you expressing what you love about Texas (a bit too straight-forward) but you alluded to it being difficult. Maybe it's a quote from a family member. It makes me thing off a song (googled it, it is)

    The smell of a ranch,--either like animal ranch, or the salad dressing (i'm leaning towards the second)

    Can't read the signs you want to.--probably because you're with your family and they're go, go, go

    There's no place like home,--duh. it says it pretty clearly

    And my home will always be,
    East Texas.--You feel at home in east texas.

    1. Yes, those lines are physical descriptions

      xD Yes, it's the DQ theme song in Texas

      I'm leaning towards the first lol

      Or most of the signs are peeled and literally hard to read xD

      Yep!

      Definitely

Would You Rather...? (#1)

These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"
