We had an island with no electricity, no running water, and no telepone. We had to portage through a 7 mile chain of lakes, bringing all our supplies for the month in a boat we would tow behind us. The lake loons used to serenade me to sleep, under billions and billions of stars - and occasionally the Aurora Borealis. I loved the summers of my youth in that region!robkistnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166835029205143266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-37905942690770388022019-03-26T18:17:32.757-04:002019-03-26T18:17:32.757-04:00Ah, what a lovely read!

It's beautiful how you bring about the idea of home — its geography becomes individual and thus, the center of attention, in its experience and emotions. That last stanza is indeed a thing of poetic brilliance! :-)Anmol (HA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02427056865589377093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-88769594612701495192019-03-26T17:07:28.079-04:002019-03-26T17:07:28.079-04:00I, agree, your last stanza is outstanding, a poem ...I, agree, your last stanza is outstanding, a poem in itself, like ending with a tanka.
