Whats Your Hurry

Was on my way home…
Driving too slow, so he thought
Once ahead of me
He is sure he passed me by…
Till we met at the red light!

Premium Member Rolling Stop

The day was humid and hot
Behind the bush hides a cop
I ignored the red light
Until cop was in sight
Then I did a rolling stop

Premium Member By the Red Light of the Moon

With no morals or divinity

Or no women of virginity

Down in the red light square

Such a lady so fair

Is quite rare in this vicinity

Crash Gordon

You ran a red light and I did yell,
for you are a clown, "So go to hell,"
but while I was screaming
and my blood was teeming,
you caused a pileup... now rot in jail!

Red Light

before you hop
the lot
or run over a boxs
or go to shop
read the signs
kept this  mind
to stop 
instead
kept this in your head
not black or white
at the
RED LIGHT

Power of Music

it a theme like dream
in  cloud
make you scream loud
you hop  
in a parking lot
or red  light stop
your mind linger
you pop your fngers

POWER OF MUSIC

Bittersweet Burn

Dark flame,
Red light.
Deep bite,
Wild fright.
Small vice,
Cold ice.
Hard price,
Sweet dice.
Brief high,
Low sigh.
Fast fly,
Long cry.
Lost shame,
Wild claim.
Deep aim,
Soft blame.

Neverland

We were two people in one world in a crowded and unsteady life, walking quietly out to Neverland. The only people we would ever see are miles behind us, mysterious and magical in the red light of the horizon.

The Phenomenon

Iron oxide
Leads to red beach
Vivid red waves.

Color red beach
Form red algae
Red colored sand.

Paint sky red
Brush by red rays
Red light reflect.

Flash red river
Awes many eyes
Flood by tourist.

Premium Member Surreal


        Stopped at a red light, a motorcycle pulls up next to her 
She turns her head to the left; agape, frozen in sheer amazement 
            Actor Brad Pitt waits with her; a surreal experience.

be cool and smooth
as you drive
and ride
make sure you have good
sight
when its  cause thst sign mean stop
at the
RED LIGHT

Death From Above

Amber warning a red light dawning,
the clouds on this day-break are 
seemingly turning into a angry mist.
I dare not look into the abyss. For I 
hear the cries from above, too late!  
I'm captured by a  now crimson sky.

Premium Member A Race Car Sandwich

I'm going to eat a race car sandwich.

It will run down my gullet, hard and fast.

It will clean out my tummy, and drive past my gas.

It will clean me out, right?

I will eat a race car sandwich at the next red light.

Life Flashes

2021 © by Angeline Vine

Every once in awhile
there's a stadium of people
up there

They
roll by like a movie ending
no written credits 
only dates known to me

They quickly vanish

As I focus on stopping
my car
at the red light

Stay in Your Lane

The road's no place for reckless games,
Lives aren’t worth the risk or flames.
That red light means it’s time to pause,
Not speed through breaks of traffic laws.
Eyes on the road, hands steady and true,
Drive safe—someone’s counting on you.

Rudolph's Retirement

Old Rudolph sired a reindeer last June
In hopes Santa would retire him soon
But the young one's red nose winks
Like a brothel's red light blinks
So they tied him outside the saloon

Red Light!

I was talking to a girl,
Who had fallen in love with a married man,
She said,'I can't help it, he consumes me,'
But I can't do anything otherwise it'll split his marriage up.
I said,' baby, you can as much stop life as you can stop at a red traffic light.'

Premium Member Told Ya So

“Told ya so” said my intuition... should have listened I agree Won't make that mistake again, one day it'll be the death of me Maybe running a red light That car from the right And the Pearly Gates come into view, oh-oh, pooped my dungarees

This Cruise Control Is Not So Smooth

This cruise control is not so smooth
Get behind the wheel and guide me
And if you cross the double line
We’re sure to die
In the right most lane
The traffic lights refuse to bear
The sign that says go
Oh no
We’re running a red light
We’re breaking the law

Desert Dreaming

In the desert I sleep,
under the sun it creeps,
slithering in the dune,
Cresting waves in its wake,
I dream crimson dreams,
Of red light twisting,
like a serpent it eases,
on the earth it pleases,
over my burning body,
fangs strike plunging,
forever desert dreaming.
