That's the one, and I live exactly in the middle of it. Texas has a panhandle too, but Oklahoma's looks more like a handle since the state as a whole looks like a frying pan.

well, I'm honoured that I inspired you! an intriguing little piece, I often feel like that - in the middle of no man's land! lol I will stop by to read more when I can, so pressed for time these days that I'm not here as often as I would like...

I just couldn't not do it after reading her piece on "haiku rules," especially since I've encountered that myself recently. I've been trying to use this little piece somewhere, and she sort of gave me permission.

I thought so, based on your earlier comments, especially about the dust bowl. Well, it's good to know a fellow Okie poet. Jack
