Boondocks Somewhere

Tanka inspired by location, hearing song on radio called Down In The Boondocks artist Billy Joe Royal

Down in the boondocks somewhere

Just between nowhere_nothing

Needing a facility_none

Help please in boondocks

Author's Note

Going on our vacation family member is sick needing a facility and desperately and none to be found with the song on the radio Down In The Boondocks

this is really beautiful.

Something or nothing.. or, in this case, Sara, EVERYTHING! Finely created, deeply felt.

(Amazing how a song or mention can set the mind rolling and fit so tightly.)

Hope things worked out for your family member .. a problem like that is like moving in treacle. (You)

I love how this poem turned out, full of so much more meaning than the original situation.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Great job. Almost any situation in our lives can end up putting a poem in our heads that we need to put down on paper.
