Poems from my Merriam-Webster Word of the Day project. For more information, look here.
laden : carrying a load or burden
I remember when
we first came here The laden
van crammed full Now those
possessions long since worn out
and done Where have the years gone?
tanka 428 : 5/10/23
gainsay : to declare to be untrue or invalid
Her words were poison
No one’s left to gainsay it
They’re all dead and gone
haiku 1061 : 12/20/22
wistful : musingly sad : PENSIVE
I thought I would feel
wistful? nostalgic? Instead –
the clock chimes. I go.
haiku 1097 : 4/21/23

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
The first and last poems seem like they would work well for your recent life change in moving house.
Yes, in fact, they were written during the moving process. A life transition like this stirs up so many emotions. Sometimes opposite ones at the same time.
I have felt the same way as you describe in the third poem; you said so well!
Moving has brought up all kinds of emotions and many that I didn’t expect, or else some were missing that I did expect.
