Oswego Suite

More than fifty years since moving away from hometown Oswego, NY, I’m delighted to present two Oswego poems, one titled Blue Ontario Read Oswego, the other titled Oswego’s History is Current. The first one describes Oswego as recalled from the stages of my childhood there, the other describes Oswego as I’ve read history flow through it.
