Another day, another poem. Thanks to Courtship of Winds for publishing my poem, Ode to Bluebird Resort.
I have spent years writing this poem (apparently it's tough to articulate the unique beauty of trailer parks). Each time I paused to read it aloud, I never could make it all the way through because I would always start laughing like a maniac.
Is this poem about the trailers in the trailer park I grew up in? To some extent, yes. But it's a lot more than that. Mostly it's a soup of memories told through anthropomorphized trailers.
I'm not sure a poem expresses who I am more than this poem. I hope it gives you a hearty chuckle too, and you think about trailer parks in a new light. Perhaps it's exactly how you feel about trailers or a beloved trailer park. If that's the case, and we aren't already friends, then we should be.
