Riding in the Back seat
moonlight turns raindrops
into snow globes on windows
reflections of us
late night driving in the rain
drowsy eyes drop into sleep
window cracked, white noise
lights flickering through the rain
my eyes flutter closed

Riding the Rails Alone
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,
The engine is screaming down a rusted track,
Steel hearts thunder, my nerves are blue-black.
Chasing ghosts that never look back.
Flirting with the man in black,
Laughing as the signals crack,
Riding high through shaking trees,
Drenched in a flood of old memories.
Stations blur past, the clock hands slide
On and on, we go, we're tracking the guide.
Fingers start

Riding The Bus
Your mood changes depending on the time of day
In the morning most are restless with nothing to say
In the afternoon that when the annoyance starts
With loud school kids and drunks from liquor marts
You try your best not to give too much eye contact
It's loud cell phone conversations behind your back
The seats are constantly signed by

Twisted
Little Red Riding Hood took a lunch
to her grandma who liked to munch
Riding Hood liked to play like waiter
until Wolf spied her and then ate her.
Little Bo Peep had trouble with sheep
They'd follow grass. "Stop it," she'd peep.
One got lost, causing Bo to sniff:
"That's it!" and pushed all over cliff.
Cinderella got dressed for the dance
Mean

ROAD TRIP
Let us take a road trip,
now off with bags and zip.
Snow covers the wide road,
no grass here to be mowed.
Cow riding the tractor,
is it a huge actor?

mother kisses little red riding hood goodbye
Her heart was pure; she was not fearful of the woods.
Shadows mean opportunities; she was curious and excited.
Her first opportunity to show grandmother her new red cloak.
Her mother cautioned her to be closed and aloof.
Little Red Riding Hood laughed at this warning.
She was eight, innocent, enthusiastic, and open.
Whatever happened, she could handle it.
She kissed her

riding the 644-614
What a two-year period we communicate, it
could have been you, yeah, you, Your
presence so full of vibrant hue, Day-to-day,
you give me a prompt, To hop on the 644 and or
614, To the world of life, revived and anew.
For two good years, you invigorated me,
With witty and easy-going conversations,
Talking to you brought charm and cheer,

Riding Without A Helmet
Giorgio rode his red Ducati to climb a mountain
without a helmet to protect the fragile brain
from damage, then all sirens started wailing
as if an earthquake or a hurricane were coming!
" They won't catch me because cars
can't ride mountains or steep hills,
they get stuck in between rocks."
A large crowd gathered below, they yelled,
" Don't

Riding Shotgun With The Devil
Staring into the clear blue Sky,
Tears Fill my Eyes,
As the crows come flying by,
High above the trees,
Dancing with the Breeze.
I'm Down on my knees,
Shoveling,
Digging up My roots.
Exposing bitter Truths.
Who I Use to Be,
The parts I Wish weren't me.
Opening the door,
I settle in.
Riding Shotgun with The Devil,
Riding to a different level.
Balancing the Machine,
Repairing the Seam.
Picking up

Horse
‘A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!‘
(Richard III, Act 5, Scene 4)
By Shakespeare
I’ve tried riding horses
I don’t like them-they don’t like me~
I’ll keep the kingdom thank you

Riding Hood Truth or Dare
Why Little Red Riding Hood
Seems you're steppin' out
Dodgin' bullets and pullin' clout
And what happened to the Grandma stop
Did she want you out?
The whole forest heard her shout
So come on, what was that all about?
Ohh my hooded and cloaked babydoll
You are a vision of vixen
An icon of dazzling brilliance, beautiful and thrilling
Your hot breath on my

Riding a Camel
A friend went to Morocco
And she rode a camel there.
I saw the photos and I wondered
If I’d take that dare.
Another pal’s in Egypt
And, on pictures she did post,
There she is atop a camel,
Looking happy and engrossed.
As a child I rode a camel
When I visited the zoo,
Where it walked around a circle
As it somehow learned to
