Thanks. I had to edit the poem. So I then edited the quote you posted.
I previously had presented the wrong version-- the one with the wrong syllable count.
Got mixed up because I had gotten a long phone call about an old friend that is very ill.
Forgot to grab the newer, edited version to present. My bad. Sorry.
The first unedited version was my original brain child thought but it did not meet accurately
the 5-7-5 syllable count needed to be a true haiku.

Note: These poems are born from a time
and a place in my youth that I once so
dearly loved to visit. Now four decades
later, I wonder would I ever see the same...

Views From Four Decades Ago
