Reason A. Poteet Poet Rondeau

Envision Your Route 1

rondeau

Envision your route, it's quicker.
Like your crowds thinner or thicker?
Traffic can ruin a trip, no fun;
my choice - less-traveled paths, bar none.
country bumpkin / city slicker? 

Long journeys can be a kicker;
on a bus, some snore, some snicker.
Think through your options one by one.
Envision your route.

Some folks will dally and dicker?
Others like to blame and bicker?
think ahead ere the trip's begun;
you'll be happier when it's done.
If you drive, don't drive on liquor,
envision your route.

Charles Messina August 4, 2019 at 8:47 AM This made me laugh, Reason. Awesome write my friend. Congratulations on your 2nd place win. Charlie Reason A. Poteet August 4, 2019 at 7:30 PM I welcome your laughter, Charles. Glad you enjoyed the read and I appreciate the placement very much. Been on 8 or 9 bus trips with all kinds of travelers...done a fair amount of driving on my own too. Love the rondeau.

Kash Poet July 27, 2012 at 8:19 PM Very nice poem Reason.Enjoyed the read. Reason A. Poteet July 19, 2019 at 9:00 AM thank you, kash, just rewrote it and re-entered it in a rondeau contest. PS: My learning is that the line length in rondeaus is fairly optional with the poet, of course, the line length in a contest is up to the host.
