The Right Direction

Her license plate read, "Look Up"  
Heaven blessed her dirty tires 
As she rolled along highways 
Clinging to her faith

His Other Car

At the wheel he gets carried away
ending up on the busy highways
goes very slow
horns start to blow
his lawnmower causing traffic delays.

Premium Member The Greatest Adventure of All

no physical adventure
can hope to compare
to the adventure of imagination
verdent green vines of ideas
lurk deep in the recess of my dendrite highways
waiting to surprise me

Premium Member Freezing Rain

FREEZING RAIN, is there anything worse Than driving slick highways, it's surely a curse Danger is great Time we must take To make sure we arrive to write another verse

Goodbye

Goodbye

 Is it all a sad
 confusion dance?
 I may abuse the
 apathy cruise control
 but behind your eyes
 are dead highways to
 nowhere
 and I have to be
 somewhere

Let Spring Appear

Bulging nests of humid
Gray are closing in
on shining patches  
of a distant white

pushing brightness

forward on the
windswept highways 
of the skies: let Spring 
come round to breed the light!

Storm Warning

Markets are strong
as bridges crumble

Dividends fly
while highways collapse

Earnings per share
define false adoration

Gift wrapping burns
—on the last empty box

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)

Buffalo Jump

Cars line the highways
with their broken life inhabitants,
coffined tributes to a last wish that got away,
android druids in mock procession
—racing toward the end 

(University Of Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

Premium Member Impulses In Zenith

lizards mating die in electric lines
snakes coil hibernate lay eggs ---
dogs die crossing highways

same could be said of every animal
none is great when impulse strikes ---
could man claim exception?

Across the endless march of days Nature showing what will be Best laid plans that come out sideways What you get is what you see Timeless trails turn into highways Searching for a better me

Ocean Highways

The ocean is a highway
to be traveled far and wide,
you can travel it alone
or with loved ones by your side.

The ocean is a vast liquid world
filled with life unseen,
fish and whales and seahorses
swim beneath boats and submarines.

In-Roads

roads are my memories
their dust my mind
their mud my body

hell and heaven
are my highways

winding roads
abandoned roads
route-less roads

these roads
are a travelling poem
that has yet to arrive
at any destination
but here and now

Caesars Time

Standing by the colosseum
Is the time of the last persecution
When the houses of Caesar
call out for revenge
Byzantine highways have lost their sheen
thwarted tall ships fall
and trumpets sound
relics of soldiers roam
you walk to your fate alone

Premium Member Owl Calls To Her Psyche

owl calls to her psyche
dreaming interferes
dendrite highways closed

breathing is a ruse
soul is in cosmos
hooting is unheard

astral travel
dusts away all semblance of
doom 

body on auto pilot
until soul returns 
to hostility of this world

Premium Member My Car Is Ugly

my car is ugly
cheap is the price we have paid
comfortable though

my car is ugly
I do not impress people
traveling on highways

my car is ugly
people probably laughing
I do not notice

my car is ugly
I could not have driven this
in uppity youth

Bury Me In the Backyard

Bury me in the backyard
Behind ice cream and hope and faith
Next to dark car rides and unlined highways
Close to wet clothes and loveseats 
In front of poetry and dreadful dances
Bury me in the backyard
On top of your hollow grave
Where you refuse to lie

Epic Road Trip

When Sam was broke, young, and foolish
He hit the road hitchhiking across the U.S.
Getting rides from cars, trucks, and buses
Going down the freeway and back highways
And occasionally in a city
Watching a tram passing by
Thinking perhaps
I'd rather ride a train

Premium Member Wise Woman Watches

life's highways etched into her face
crevices and valleys, catching wisdom of the ages
an eagle's eyes missing no nuances or glances,
woman who is intelligent enough to keep silent
watching the eaglets make their own journey
earning their own highways and crevices

Premium Member Insecurities

Roadways and divided highways and destinations to encounter unexpectedly  treading on thin ice. Headed
Into a dead-end  no outlet  to take unconsciously. 
Directions were given were very diminutive  and insecurities 
entered to forms  judgments of self doubt and vulnerability visited.

Premium Member Limestone Cowboy

Rip-rap for the sides of highways Surge is for the smaller byways Twos and threes, a nice good base Twenty-fours, a French drain, place Fifty-sevens to dress a road, Sixty-sevens, for better flow. Crusher run is best on top And that is where my knowledge stops…
