The Roads To...

The white lines of this road I ride
They pass before my eyes
As I ride the many miles along
Seeking out my prize

Each day I ride’s a new one
Though the mirrors show the past
The where I started each new day
To ride this road at last

But what about today
Those times I stop to wait
Do those white lines keep on moving
While I, I hesitate?

Oh no, they stop there with me
Then I resume my course
For I am moving forward
With an unbreakable force

The interesting title lured me in. Nice use of rhyme to forward your thoughts. Enjoyed this one. Karen

This poem has the fast pace of the highway...very enjoyable and quite thrilling.The content and the metre enhance each other and it has a rock steady rhythm, but it goes a bit bumpy in the last line ( sorry Michael i can't suggest how to improve it )...but maybe it doesn't matter...its good anyway

Your poem makes me search my soul for a moment...wondering about the highways I've traveled. Very evocative. Always a pleasure. My best, Charlie
