Lin Lane Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

Take Me Home To Inverness

Tristan rode the moor
          his clan's plaid flew in the wind.
                  the castle lay near
          my heart waited there for him
           take me home to Inverness

James Inman January 24, 2016 at 5:44 PM Lovely, romantic poem, Lin. I'm with Silent One, where's the novel? This would make a great teaser on the inside cover. Lin Lane January 24, 2016 at 5:54 PM lol James. A novel is a long term commitment. I don't know enough about Scotland to write it, but I'm all for flying over and checking it out! Thanks for such nice comments.

Thanks so much, Sage.
