Often meandering, With forks full of potholes; The highway of life. It's not the yellow brick road... With Dorothy Prancing along. Caution must be exercised; Gentle on the gas pedal... At all times on our travels. We eventually reach Our destination We aren't in a nascar race; Patience is Of paramount importance! Life's serpentine freeway Couldn't be more treacherous We either obey The speed limit Or risk recklessly Careening off.

I love how you did your meandering poem, Edward. It's very fun to see how different poets here take a word like that and create completely different poems from it. Most insightful thinking in your poem. Congrats on the win
