Best Hitch Up Poems

Yea, I'm living life on the road, traveling across the land,
I left my humble abode, with just my thumb on my hand,
I'm sightseeing and free....heading somewhere...
with no better place to be, in my world of no care,

Yea, I'm hitch hiking....thumbing for a ride...
half broke, left...

Autumn surrounds the lake
Vibrancy vivacious, romantic
Blue in the rippling eye
Dark speck, a boat

Grows bigger and bigger
The laughter
Her auburn hair thrown back,
Her subtle loveliness
He stares at the landscape of love

Day bellows in briskness
And a tartan blanket
Smoothed on her lap

A sporty arm around her shoulder
Shadows falling effervescent
Sweethearts...

Hitch hiking ghosts with a hue of blue
Were picked up on a Sunday in 1952
The driver was my dad, name of Lou
Who enjoyed their company more than they knew.

I heard the story growing up each year
On Halloween, for my daddy had no fear
That anyone else...

I never thought I’d be the one
 To injure, re-injure, and re-injure my own thumb

 First time crushed between horse and steel fence
 Second time bitten by a cat in defense
 Third time sadly was self inflicted
 An accident of course…
 None the less thumb...

Pt. I

The Lodger

Morning sneaked inside the flat and lit the dusty air
through holes in the torn curtains forming spotlights on the floor.
He woke from the discomfort of a night in his armchair
and stared at all the empty cans he'd finished hours before.

The window to the...

I'm Mortimer Monkey!  My devilish side
will jump on the back of the elephant's hide!

I'll take unfair advantage
Even taking bringing my baggage!

While this jumbo sized taxi....gives me a ride!!...

If you fly with an African airline, start praying
This is a true story, you will know what I’m saying
It happened in Kenya in the town Kisumu
Forty-four passengers in a plane with nothing to do

Just when the pilot got the all clear to fly
The passengers hear...

By the time you rolled up
I'd been walking for a couple of hours,
after the Grahamstown kids
were probably done with their lunch.
The back of your four-by-four
was the most comfortable place
I'd imagined I'd see that day.
And after a few good jokes
and some stupid ones too,
you dropped me...

Now let me see
My Mom told me not to ride that boar hog
But as you will see my brothers and me 
Didn't listen to Mommy
We got on this big old hog and rode him when he got tired he would run
for the waller and we...

'Thanks, man, but I need to get to Jo'burg.'
I was nice about it,
and I explained it reasonably enough.
Town to town might lose me
a ride straight back home,
I was sure there'd be one today.
To tell you the truth, though,
even if you'd been going
to within a mile...

I thought, almost immediately,
there was strangeness in your car.
You had picked me up early
in the bright, hot morning,
December's heat was full,
but you froze me to the bone.
You were oddly quiet,
but the precious few words that you spoke
may have been
the strangest that I had ever heard.
As...

“Winter of your heart”.

     The snows of Winter in your heart.
     confusion and illusions in my head.
     Share our life together. 
     that’s what you said?
