Night Driving
I want to take a drive tonight
through a maze of half-lit roads
paved in onyx shadows.
I want to follow starry streets
that roll in waves of cold concrete
beneath the opal moon.
I want to cruise across the city
through pockets of rose gold light
that bury me in brightness
before throwing...

bright gleaming cat's eyes
glowing like a string of pearls
guiding us at night

Cat's eyes were created in 1934 by a British Inventor called Percy Shaw.

Premium Member Driving towards the Daylight
I gaze beyond 
the sky of sapphires,
waiting for a
spark of sailing light,
listening to 
the balmy breeze~
they kiss the 
rays of silver,
with tales of 
my eclipsed past. 

Maybe tonight dandelion 
wind will dance in sync~
to sunset kayaks cruising
through wounded waves, 
shimmering amidst
tear-stained dunes… 

I lean on...

Premium Member He's Driving Her Crazy
A nervous old driver from Barking 
Was awful at driving and parking 
He’d curse and he’d cuss 
Make such a huge fuss 
And suffer his wife’s constant carping

Premium Member Second Chance - Driving Test
My driving I thought was sublime
But I failed my test the first time
Staring down at the wheel
It was hard to conceal
That failure to me was a crime

So I applied to take another test
Very determined I would try my best
I answered every question
And I drove to...

Driving My Kids Crazy
Driving my kids crazy
Every day and night
Because my mind is hazy
Nothing comes out right

Still, I keep on teaching
The foggy lessons in my head
At the end of all my preaching
There's but one thing said

"I know what you are saying...
You said that yesterday."
In their heads their praying
I...

Driving To the Light
driving away
	from a long pristine shoreline
where waves roll upon sand
	corralled by crumbling cliffs

driving toward
	a haven for sunbathers
listening to ice cream vendor’s jingles
	on boardwalk backed beaches

In the rear view mirror
	 darkness touches the ground
out where thousands of freedoms
	shine in a sapphire sky

through the windscreen
	an orange glow...

Premium Member Driving Through Jungles Under the Mars Sea
Immodest mouse (though sheepishly I drive):
Cheese-poof ambition traps shred Plexiglas; 
Life’s tint is circus; freaks pedaling thrive;
My spinner’s stopped, feline-stripped out of gas.

Cradled in moon’s ambitious pseudo-shine,
Not that I could, see I’ve nowhere to go;
Clawed dizzy by stars she hangs as a shrine,
Marathons end; unfinished...

Premium Member Drunken Driving
He was known to be a carefree dandy
Once he got boozed up with brandy
Driving his new car
He felt flying in the air
He wailed, “The brake doesn’t come handy”

Because of over speed, broke the car’s tier
Hit it on a tree with a thud severe 
Some people...

Premium Member 56 Corvette
I want a car, an older car, a 56 Corvette
That will drive down the highway miles, speeding fast with no regret.
I want a car that's sleek and smooth and gives one helluva ride. 
An old car that knows its stuff and can do a "Hollywood...

Premium Member Two Idiots On the Freeway
An idiot driver cut in front of me on the freeway
Just because they did not get the big picture 
I have to slam on my brakes?
Could I let it slide?
Apparently not.
I threw my hands up like “what the heck?”
She gave me the bird.
I gave her...
