My Town
A sonnet

Living in average New England town, For the last quarter of a century. Thirty four miles north of Boston is found, Hudson, New Hampshire incidentally.
On the banks of the Merrimack river. Twenty four thousand working class do live. Mountains, ocean, forests, do deliver. What nature within an hours drive can give.
The beginning of the last century, Connected to historic Boston by, railroad to our zoo, now a memory, Brought wealth, summer visitors, apple pie.
Livable open space and history. Embracing diverse future? Mystery.

We all have the power to work for needed change. Get involved. Thank you Muhammad Nasrullah Khan for the prompt. Here are some additional Photos of my town.
