Premium Member Exit Ramp
The exit ramp looms large just up ahead,
though still an unknown distance ‘round the bend,
a terminus of sorts.
Perhaps a point from which to send
us out of time constraints, into the now,
the means by which remain unknown, just how
exactly, this all ends.
To fret, a waste, ’tis...

Colored skateboard ramp
With graffiti all over
Preparing for leap
I jump high into the air
Ramp is not for the leery

On Ramp
My mistakes were of the human kind.
Was told to hold my tongue but was disinclined.
From a flight of winding stairs I fell through my mind.
knavish condescension rendered my sight blind.
In my guilt filled chasm I was confined.
Bloody fingertips on my canvas scrape and grind. ...

Premium Member Taken by the Off Ramp
When logic fails,
something within me undeniably stirs,

in the silent void,
waiting for me to veer off,

Premium Member Indian Lake Boat Ramp
Today we stopped at Subway 
and grabbed our favorite subs, chips and drinks 
then headed to a picnic table 
across the lake from the boat ramp 
our favorite spot to watch boaters 
set their boats in the water 
or practice their profession 
of driving them...
