Running -- a "Poem" for Tuesday

Running Away

I'm running, running,

  but to where

I've been to places

  here and there

Remembering them 

  hard to do

The ones I've written

  I'll show you  

Birthdays are the best 

  day to run

Some exotic place

  have some fun

Guatemala and

  local too

New York city

  China seemed new

Alaska Moscow

  Mexico

South America

  places to go

Holy Lands Istanbul

  Turkey

Even Iceland's fire

   called to me 

Sweden and Denmark

  Norway's fiords

Germany Rome

  Austria's chords  

Paris and London

   Egypt's tomb

Panama Canal

  take me home

I often tease about RUNNING AWAY FOR MY BIRTHDAY.  I've never gone by myself, Mrs. Jim and sometimes other family members run with me.  Link, click here, to a few "Running Away" posts on my other blog.  You could search it for most any of the places mentioned to see if I've been there.

These ARE nice places.  Most time when I write in first person not all of what you read is truly me.  But here, of these places I've visited after we retired or some in the summers before (I had six weeks off).  I've been to all the states, I didn't mention Hawaii and a few other nice places here.
