Hello Harry, you are the best... and right now, I'm wishing for the whiteout to exit off the highways I'm on... most of my turns are taking a rough ride up the destiny mountain... good thinking...pd

It does seem long at first but as we get closer to the end it feels like the car has picked up a lot of speed. Kinda scarey especialy if your driving in a whiteout. Great little poem Harry.

Hi! friend, enjoy the life what it is. Life always gives, bystanders come and go because they have their own life. A place without destiny is one's own place. Lovely done, always loved, bl

wow, what an inspired line: destiny whiteout! This is another great senryu. I love that you are on a roll with your short poems right now. thanks for having some new ones for me to see today. You have taken the time to check out my oldies and I feel bad that I have been so busy and not visiting your poetry. It was a super busy day. Right now I'm waiting any moment for our doorbell to ring. Our son and his wife and baby have traveled here to come see us and dinner is warming in the oven!

Very expressive of life..Enjoyed reading this morn..On the mistakes that I made along the way, I wish that I could use some whiteout but that is not possible..Thank God that He is a merciful and forgving and gracious God..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..Thanks so much for stopping by..Sara
