Dear Darlene, I would love to visit this special town and be "somewhere" and "nowhere" all at once. Nowhere seems like a soothing place with no worries, I'd love to go there, my sweet friend. I adore the lovey whimsy of your wonderful poem. I hope you enjoy your Sunday! Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan

Hi Darlene; I like this 'mazy' poem. We all live somewhere, but there are moments when it's nice to live 'nowhere', especially when peace is needed to help us recharge our batteries! ~ Regards // paul

We've always roadworks in our town/ We drive around and up and down / And many diversions follow / Back to beginning then we go.

Darlene De Beaulieu

Hello Tony, roadwork is done here in the summer month into the Fall. When roadwork starts a lot of roads lead to nowhere. traffic is horrible. Cheers!! Darlene

I really love this imagism poem, Darlene. There is so much depth expressed in a few words. Why do we need verbosity to describe profound thoughts? "A road sign read/The Road To Nowhere" - your opening line is fantastic, Dear Friend. Love and Friendship ~ Mala
