Today's word is "exurb" ... ek-serb ... a small, usually prosperous, community situated beyond the suburbs of a city. (Dictionary.com)
Companions
Walking in the cities' shadows,
Or up the farmland's fairest hills,
In suburbs, exurbs, or the wilds,
Nature's life the spaces fills.
Birds above and ants below,
Fishes in the streams and lakes,
Animals of all description,
Do for their homes, our excess take.
Living as we do together,
Willingly or not, it seems,
Our fates surely ride together,
As earth reflects sun's gracious beams.
