Traveling By Car

Passenger seat travel
 is boring, boring. boring
 Pencil and paper
 occupies time, hands
 and  mind.
	
 Put pen to paper,
 record the unusual.

 Humorous signs
 ugly buildings
 hawks in treetops
 crows feasting on road-kill
 broken, abandoned cars
 hitch-hikers
 roadside stands

 when suddenly
 breathtaking scene
 gone in a flash
 speaks eloquently
 of the Master’s touch
 and lingers for miles.

What started off as boring turned out to be quite the opposite, Cona! Being a passenger can be rather entertaining! I like the contrasting stanzas, the way they evolve. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. I love writing free verse. I wrote rhyme for many years before I discovered the ease of free verse. Have a great week.
