Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Bound for Home

Still 'bout a hundred mules to go

Driving 'cross country coming home,

Watch the road for patches of snow.

Mid day sun lights up blue sky dome.

Gosh, how long has it been since I

Last traveled through these fields and streams,

Off to the big city to try

To cash in on my hopes and dreams.

But barely eked out a living.

Now down and broke, I'm heading back

Home again to spend Thanksgiving.

I guess I deserve any flack.

The black sheep of my family.

But Mom will have a hug for me.
