road trip on fall day
              highway under construction...
                                       powerful tar scent

Overloaded van by
My nutty family!
Passengers, all ages,
Destination Disney
Land, pop songs blaring high
Reached Las Vegas instead!

Road trip madness
On-going packing
Another suitcase honey?
Drive baby drive

Time to........
Relax
Invigorate myself
Pamper my old bones!

Road Trip

Drove across the state
To go on a date
Found her online
Her picture looked fine
Knock on her door
My mind starts to soar!
IT'S A MAN

As we near the end of our road trip
a blessing from an old amateur wordsmith:
No road is ever too long 
if you have someone to share it with

Premium Member EVEN WHEN WE'RE LOST

One thing you learn on a road trip…
as road after road is crossed…
is 
there is so much beauty to be discovered
even those times we are lost.

Listen to poem:
Ah the joys of sunrise
awakened from sleeping
in car on a carefree
surfing safari trip
up north, with just me and
my board transfixed in bliss

Cruisin' down country lane
Top down, no sign of rain
Singin' with radio
No place special to go
Stop to pick a ripe pear
Bear roars— I'm outta there!

Long before G P S,
we planned a trip out west.
Four hours later, you said,
“Is this all in my head?
First fill-up of the car
is right back where we are!"

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?

When Horace Greeley said to "Go West",
I put his idea to the test. 
On the next bright sunny day
I drove my car from L.A., 
and found, "Go East" would have been best.

Road Trip

Rough roads
   Occasional vomiting 
   And crying by weary child
   Deadly tailback

   Terrain becomes pretty
   Rapidly relaxing
   Into destination
   Paradise

Road Trip

We had been on the road for about thirteen hours by then
So the traffic that we saw was a most unwelcome sight
A turtle, on his own road trip, crawled across the highway

The road is calling me, to journey in the wild; for me this would be bliss, and free my inner child. Down roads of hued green trees, to get lost in the breeze !

vibrant colours
dance upon darkened skies
guiding light on the mother road

It had no radio
and couldn't fly at all
every wheel would wobble
because they were too small
~ red and rusted wagon,
a limo for my dog...

Road Trip 1

Oasis on sixty-six
beckons weary travelers.
One step off the chosen path.
Nostalgic flashback.

      road trip to a concert 
      on their old j a l o p y 
      songs blast on radio 
head-bobbing, foot-tapping,
   and finger-snapping fun...
   until front tire blows out!

Our Arrival

There we go again to where
Where you ask on the road
A further road trip by wheels
Which direction do we go?
Any point of the compass
We will bring our effect there
Get ready for our arrival

logging a hundred miles old camper now rusted--- each reverie...a tear eyes moonless torn by nights; frazzled rites of youth's trysts , were never just ...road sprees

Road Trip

That night I kissed you,
Under the stars,
I could feel the rush,
Of the passing cars,
You are my heavens highway.

My breath was took,
As I held your hand,
Behind the wheel,
enjoying the drive.

Road Trip

Reading the pointing map
Oozing sweet fumes 
Amazing natural landscape
Driving on oil and gas.

Trails of accidents
Rims here and there. 
Inscriptions old and new
'Pure Town' is just few metres..

Regardless of what we do
On holidays
An adventure is planned
Driving in the car with

The intensions of
Reaching and enjoying our destination
Ignoring directions given we realize
Planned trips are more enjoyable

Road Trip

Rumbling down the road,
Over potholes, bumps and hills,
Active backseat of kids
Dead set on not taking spills.

Trying to make it home,
Rain was causing delay.
Inside the car we were
Praying all the way.
