Memories Take Root

We always talk about revision with students.  This is a revised poem focused on AI Titles for Ethical ELA that reminds me of the power of revision. 

I started at the house
Still on the corner,
Without its front porch?
No rambling butterfly bushes? 
Now purple with florescent green trim?
Looking so different, so sad.

"Keep moving,"
I said, wistfully,
Thinking about the newlyweds
Building new memories
From seeds planted long ago.
As I turned my car towards home,
Where my crisp white porch, 
Lots of pots, and a packet of seeds,
Were waiting for me.
