Leaders Of Tomorrow
Been around the world
seen some strange sights in my time
and looking back
my favourite is a roadway sign
of yellow and black
viewed in the U.S.A.
which read

Roadway Moments
On a cold day
a little love-talk over coffee,
a cup to warm hands,
in a café or diner.
A truth spoken,
a kindness that listens,
those are the moments
worth a lifetime
of reflection.
We are here in Elroy County.
What better way to travel beyond yourself
than with someone
you never thought to meet,
or name?

Signs Along the Roadway Detour Ahead
Going awol when needed the most
Choosing truancy
an uncaring ghost
Stealing my voice
In your offhanded way
Invalidating the least little thing I might say or twist it untill the true meaning gave way
And when you discovered I would not break
there was no route too low to take
A monstrous ego fed at my expense
the kick at my lowest

Royal Reasoning
a narrative with alliteration
Royal radio reviews the Rainbow Raffle Rally planned to raise rubles
for the rugged racetrack recently recommended ‘round Rybinsk Reservoir.
One rich ruler, who runs the Ragweed Railway resists with red-ribbon resolve.
His rogue reaction to a ring of rubber stamp rednecks
left realistic Regnum reporters in a rush to rock their readers
regarding

There Is Still Hope
Some put on their blinkers.
Others do not.
Some are listening to the radio,
Hopefully something tasty and hot.
Some pass on the left,
Others pass on the right.
I am down the middle,
Watching the traffic, oh, so bright.
Some are looking at the cell phones,
The vivid colors, dancing sweet.
They may not make it to loved ones
They were so anxious to meet.
Some

Roadway Surprise, An Easter Story
Roadway Surprise, an Easter Story
Hello. My name is Cleopas.
There’s little of me to discuss.
But as I and my friend walked,
We had a very serious talk
As we moved along the Emmaus Road,
We were feeling our world had folded.
The Jesus case was now closed;
Or so we thought; because he arose.
We were sad, because we had hoped.

Roadway Runway
Just ahead down the road a way
Queen Anne rides her florid carriage
tossing lacy garments out the window
frilly-white landing by the roadside
The carriage of course is pulled by mares
clicking their hooves like they were some
courtesan's castanets and kicking their legs high,
like line-dancers kicking a French can-can
Apparently Anne and her consorts
wear quite

Water On the Roadway
Water on the Roadway
By Elton Camp
“Road Flooded” read the warning sign
Robert took a look and started to whine
“This is the shortest way to get to town.
I don’t want to drive ten miles around.”
He could see the shoulder on both sides
The water didn’t look very deep besides
So he said, “It looks safe to drive through.”
That, then,
