Short Two Lane Poems

The THUNDERING HERD 
of beach goers,
like bison of the hunt.
Echoes of Doppler 
caterwauling down the two lane.
Each one,
dodging, weaving, 
horns blowing,
vie to be first.

Bowing down to the neon gods at midnight
Those flashing lights
Brilliant stars keep me up at night
Quick steps grazing concrete
On these city streets the loneliness doesn't sting
Watchful eyes steal glances
Hopeful glimpses into each other's souls
Are we all just cars passing one another on this two lane of life...

two lane highway
in the countryside
dormant fields sleep
in shadows
reflective markers

haiku shared
to ease the way
darkness
and stories of despair
a friend says lightning
will turn winter to spring
a flash of green
all too briefly seen
visions of fortune

they don't care for frills,
then as usual, many are still seeking thrills.
Lessons are learned, and taught everyday,
as our two lane highway, to somewhere,
is paved everyday....
