Crossing Lines

vroom…vroom
Toot-toot
near miss
stay tuned

I say
highways are not
not hard
takes a Bard

to park this poem
vroom…vroom
make room
I’m here to stay

not ruin
someone else’s poem
near miss
stay tuned

takes a Bard
to take a part
in this traffic
easy go

when it’s light
but when it’s heavy
write…right…write…left
crossing lines

make sure they’re not double
seeing reality
toot-toot
vroom-vroom

have to cross the line
so I don’t hit
the accident
don’t do a bang up job

back at it
write right
write left
beep beep

back home
lay back
pop up
watch show

This was such a fun and clever ride! I love how you turned traffic sounds and movements into a poetic journey—full of energy, humor, and wit. A smooth blend of wordplay and rhythm… definitely a “write” turn!

I love country side drive: no rush nor noisy, natural sights. Yet, sometimes, one has to go to a big city. Have a nice day ~ AA

Very different, quite unique, you are here there and everywhere, but I liked it lots, I enjoy poems that confuse me somewhat, and this one leaves me wondering where we both are, the poet and the reader! Hugs blessings, Jennifer.

This is cute, love it. It says so much even though it feels like stream of consciousness. Hugs :)
