Homecoming
A free-verse poem
His step along the footbridge creaks,
warm light glows from the windows,
the last snows melt on the peaks.
Home at last—
she’s dreamed this dream for weeks.
—Lesley Scoble, November 2026
Audio — Homecoming
I wrote my poem Homecoming, in response to Sadje’s Whatdoyousee #365.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My thanks to Sadje, for the wonderful inspiration.
And my thanks to you, the reader, for spending this time with me.
