Best Road Trip Poems

Across the vast Californian Death Valley I went out for a drive
The temperature gauge was reading a hundred and twenty five.

Despite the unforgiving temperature, I was staying nice and cool
I had the air conditioning on full blast, because I am no fool.

I had been on...

intoxicated by the taste of her pleasures
loving to see her satisfied I intensify my measures
touching, tasting, smiling loving to see her satisfied
all these pleasures rushing as I began to rise 
taking a moment I gaze upon the perfection of her frame
I then seek south in...

My wife and I share a passion for travelling, the world we love to see
We travelled through France and Switzerland and we're now in Italy 
Day one was a trip in a cable car to the summit of Mount Baldo
The views from the top were...

The road is calling me,
to journey in the wild;
for me this would be bliss,
and free my inner child.
Down roads of hued green trees,
to get lost in the breeze !...

It had no radio
and couldn't fly at all
every wheel would wobble
because they were too small
~ red and rusted wagon,
a limo for my dog...

"Road Trip"




Road Map 
held against
The Wheel of Fortune

Foot to the Floor
accelerate 
Now into Third

Drive across the country
Let imagination flow
Tumbleweed and flat lands
Reveal a western show

Mile markers pave the way
Across this land sublime
Wind blows through the car
On my arm sunshine

Generations of people
Spirits across the land
Occupy a history
Of faces in the sand

Deep inside our spirit
Adheres to our respect
This peaceful land...

My suitcase is packed, its ready to go.

  I've applied bright red nail polish onto each toe.

  The girls "road trip" starts very early in the morn.

ROAD TRIP


Red rocks in Sedona, Arizona
Old Faithful in Yellowstone
Arch in St. Louis, Missouri
Deadwood's graveyards full of bones

Tennessee's Grand Ol' Opry
Riding horseback at Ucross Ranch
In eighteen days, I toured fourteen states
Praise God for providing the chance

neon
vibrant colours
dance upon darkened skies
guiding light on the mother road

Riding the curves set before us
Only our senses respond
And there are also no setbacks
Drilling its Bravery to Us

Turning and tripping and twirling
Rough spins until we are strong
Inner desire preserving 
Proudly conquers Our Faults...

An actuary does the math
And figures out the time
Each person gets to live his life
Before he leaves his prime.

Of course, an average doesn’t mean
That everyone’s the same,
So some of us will stay alive
Beyond statistic’s claim.

Yet knowing what I know, as years
Accumulate and pass,
The time to...

For Naomi, life was beginning to get exciting in the fall of 1952...
At the age of 25 , a widow and the mother of two.

So you pack up your 1949 Dodge and off to Alaska you go...
Free land awaits those brave souls who will show.

Daddy make her scootch over
She's crowding all my space

Kid's don't eat all your snacks
You're not in some race

Can you change the radio station
This music isn't good

Honey pull over to the side
There's smoking under the hood

Mommy can you stop her?
She's looking out my window

I don't wanna...
