Best Long Haul Poems

Claude Debussay didn't inspire me
As red sun set a fiery red ball
And I ran away with no shawl
Knowing there was no way to flee
Trapped in your shuttered bourgeoisie

Behind the mask, a plastered glee
Pull Daisy's petals let them fall
He loves me, loves me not at all

This life can sometimes feel lonesome and that’s perfectly okay,

We are a junkyard for travelers
moving not by our own motion
but brought together in economy class
because we are all...

In long-haul dreams, we set our sights far-off on distant shores,
Assuming that each step, each choice, each twist, will open doors,

filled with tension and anxious thoughts

the tension produced in me so sore
bringing blocks in speech...

She is a long-haul trucker, traveling the open road.
Rough and tough as she has to be but no more than.
Her children are at home with her husband, stay-at-home-dad.
Why do you do it? People ask her.
Have you ever been at home with sixteen children? She replies.
