Won't you help support DayPoems? Suburbia! I Think It Time to PraiseBy William Brendan McPhillips21st CenturySuburbia escaped me when I wrote. An unintended slight, I should explain, I've lived here long and put it in my vote, Despite the city's population, pain. The country, farms, were fodder to the Muse, And cows not cattle set the rural scene, And forest stretching distance fed its hues To measure out the glades of treasured green. And yet suburban contradictions kept Me from returning to familiar fold, And urban constancy made sleep un-slept, So here I am suburbanite, and old, Amid conflicted contradicted ways, And yet against the contradiction, praise.
