Refrigerated

Refrigerated white clad knight
A thousand horses pull
With their might, prancing 'pon the road
Cargo hull loaded full

Up and down the expressway roam
See vehicles and roads
Rarely getting to visit wife
And place of home's abode

Same billboards everyday stored in
Memory~packed away
Loners tucked in but need escape
Complex puzzle at play  

Inspired by a tractor/trailer truck
on the expressway.....

I like your inspiration for this piece; it's neat the little or insignificant things that inspire us poets. And I love your use of " 'pon"; I saw it in several of your pieces and, as my name implies, I am a lover and sucker of archaic phrases, words or wording. Nice job with this piece :)

Hi Sara, I must say you managed to capture my interest right from the title. It's clever how you've used the word refrigerated then gone on to talk about sameness -it's just like a freezing time, things remain the same. Very well penned!
