Best Tractor Trailer Poems

Because of a jackknifed tractor-trailer up ahead,
vehicles on this highway has been stopped cold dead.
The radio traffic report came on a little late.
That is the reason for my ignominious fate.
I had to use the highway to get to the liquor store.
I ran out of beer,...

*Nathan's Song

Nathan loved to be playin' baseball
Talk with his friends everytime they'd call
He would rather be doing for others---any day.
Nathan loved the lake in the Summer,
Skiing in winter--one slope or other.
He was full of life and had an easy goin' way.

Nathan loved to eat Mexican...

Best Seat In The House

Sitting here at the kitchen table this morning
drinking the blackest of coffee letting the
most amazing cool breeze envelope me through
the back window I forget for a moment that I am

Five Arab Men


In the dead of night, asleep in my bed
Suddenly, upon a hill as bright as day
A vision before me, or am I misled

On this asphalt road,to the left, a tractor trailer stands
Waiting as if impatient
Cloisters, old fort on the right, playing of the...

A tractor trailer with slats and moos
pulls up at a city slaughterhouse.
The driver pulls the wrong lever 

and two thousand pounds 
of trotting cattle go for an easy

Cop cars follow in no hurry. 
Police don’t have lassos and
wouldn't know how...

Refrigerated white clad knight
A thousand horses pull
With their might, prancing 'pon the road
Cargo hull loaded full

Up and down the expressway roam
See vehicles and roads
Rarely getting to visit wife
And place of home's abode

Same billboards everyday stored in
Memory~packed away
Loners tucked in but need escape
Complex puzzle at play...

The calm lake woke up suddenly
On an all consuming day
Received its first visitor from above
A truck, a tractor trailer fell from the sky
Crashed!...An accident perhaps
A high ridge to sharp
A curve too narrow
It split open like an egg on impact
Tons of noodles scurried out
Boiled up soft...

(This is a fictional poem)

My son was in the road and a tractor-trailer couldn't stop in time.
The driver ran over my boy and he broke this heart of mine.
My wife and I should've been watching him but we were having an argument.
When you get right...
