Notes About The Poem

Nette's Into the Hexaline Groove Contest ** May 7, 2025

Road Trip

Cruisin' down country lane
Top down, no sign of rain
Singin' with radio
No place special to go
Stop to pick a ripe pear
Bear roars— I'm outta there!

lol LM, I was glad you enjoyed the ride. The contest host thought my inclusion of the bear was reason to N/A this one. I much prefer the comments from those who rode along with us. Thank you ever so much.

There were a few that were fun years ago. Mercedes with the top down... but with the birth of my first child, it was impractical to keep. Life changes our fortunes, but as long as we're happy in our place in it... that's what we hold on to. Thanks a lot, Daniel.

Lin, cute poem and a great picture to boot. I'm sure many of us have been driving and day dreaming at the same time. It's a real pleasure to be in a position to relax! Hope the bear wasn't a stock market figure!!! Smiles!!

Love it, Lin. Haven’t looked into this contest cos I had no idea what ‘Hexaline groove’ meant. Like everyone else has said… the twist is a killer ;-)
