Best Center Line Poems

Line of inquiry: 
“looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was
I’m different now, though not without flaws
Each crest becomes a trough, as we move on
God slowly steers soul towards a new dawn” - Unseeking Seeker

My future self is a river running.
Time with no end is...

Line Of Inquiry : "I saw God but now what"
 
It was Easter and I was kneading bread on my kitchen counter.  A  nanosecond flash and God's face appeared on my backsplash, by the sink. I had a moment of pure rapture before...

It was in the mists of morning, beneath the rising morning sun,
We had come to conquer Ft. Langley, It was me and Al and John.
We had all teed off quite nicely, on number one I scored a seven,
But Al warned me that one was easy...

The road

It stretches out before me, 
 the yellow center line 
 holding my attention.

It tells me that humankind has tried 
 and made its mark known and imprinted here.

But from the woods, the trees stretch their trunks angling across the tarmac,
A  canopy of...

It first began looking, at my great grandparents, in old pictures albums or on the wall, so I did not understand longing, for simpler times or why, I would think I would see a picture of me there. I would always look but never seeing...

If a pickle brings a paddle
To a party in the fall,
And the court is colored umber
And it looks just like the ball,
Would you relish the cucumber
Who was forced to make the call,
Or the dill-ettante not worth his salt,
Who knows no rules at all?

Or that silly...

Scrooge over. I hit Scrooge and over slept. It's Over Scrooge. I ride my Scrooger. It's so in right now. Scrooge over. You're simply in the way. The signs of pity instruct us to give em' a brake. We do what they say and we...

I never will forget the day
my world came crashing down
It happened out on highway 6
just right outside of town

My wife and I were headed home
after dinner and a show
When a truck who crossed the center line
gave me nowhere else to go

When I hit the ditch...

best driver his claim
went to sleep singing_voice rang 
as he crossed the center line  






I am glad that I was there to awake him
and also that we were not meeting any
cars or 18 wheelers.......

There once was an old lady
A cautious one was she
But she still drove her motor-car
At the age of one-oh-three

She was feared, and yes, respected
On every county road
'Cause she drove down the center-line
And in "white-knuckle" mode

And if you were behind her
You were certain to be late
Because...

Line of inquiry: 
“I am not the body, which is but dust
I am not fickle and limited mind
To whom then comes the feral thrust of lust
Or for that matter, thoughts loving and kind"



I am not just the body which is a husk,
Which will wither and...

Driving South Dakota in December
Means you’re a “Stupid Club” member
I’d never even heard of a “White Out”
That’s what this story’s all about

Cruising along and relaxed as can be
My three daughters, my wife and me
You could see for miles, the land was so flat
Heard truckers do...

Tragedy struck 
Didn't see that truck
Was traveling way too fast 
Didn't feel that blast
Crashed around the bin
Left a pile of tin
Used the jaws of life 
Other driver wsn't coming home to his wife
Hope his family can forgive me
I lost control and couldn't see 
Wrapped around...
