Sunday morning, Dad would take me flying Just the two of us, in his tiny plane
His plane was just right for the two usThe fields slid green and ripe beneath us As we skimmed the grass and landed fast
Tilting in the wind, we flew over green fields
We landed near a hangar, open to the gassTables groaned under mounds of pancakes In the hangar where pilots flew in to swap stories
filled with long tables and the smell of pancakes
Hangar-flying - pilots swapping stories-We shared breakfast together, strangers no more, because Sunday morning, Dad would take me flying.
tied us together, strangers meeting to share
Prompt: Write a "duplex"poem - a variation on the sonnet, developed by the poet Jericho Brown.
