Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Navigating Through the Curves

her hope
slipping like bare tires
on wet roadways

she can't navigate
through the curves
of this crazy life

she's spinning
out of control
an emotional wreck
unable to break free

she is somber
like these winter days
raining down on her

her tears
gather together
in a stream of pain
as muddied as the puddles
on these roads
she travels
alone
