Notes About The Poem

Long day but home safe. Visiting family in Minnesota was wonderful.

Home At Three In the Morning

circling above clouds
trouble’s first inclination
reroute to memphis
wait for hours and hours
making headway - through my book

Back again. Love this tanka... A little turbulence in Chapter 9, but fasten your seat belts -- and you'll be fine! Smiles for Free Air Travel Miles, Gershon

Turbulence was my tummy in Memphis without any ribs...whaaaat! I ate at 3 a.m. LOL...

I'm glad you got home safely and felt the poetic urge to express it...

Always... Thank you, dear friend!

That's quite a trip. I go to Minnesota every week for work.

Awesome! Such a pretty state! My son and family have lived there for a couple years. It is a joy to visit!

So glad you wrote 'my book' at the end (i/o 'Facebook'). Whew! One vote for Sanity... Great Tanka, Kim! Reading and Remembrance, Gershon

Nothing quite like a good read from a book rather than some digital device! Aloha! Rico

There's nothing so satisfying as a good read, I concur. Nice piece, well done. Salut!
