Riding in the Back seat


moonlight turns raindrops
into snow globe on windows
reflections of us
late night drive in rain
drowsy eyes drop into sleep

window cracked, white noise 
lights flickering through the rain
my eyes flutter closed

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 8/1/2025 12:59:00 PM Dear Crystol, I could feel the warmth of family, the magic of road trips, and that pure trust kids have tucked into the back seat. It’s just beautiful. You managed to put the sound and feel of childhood contentment into words that like raindrops in the moonlight. Keep chasing those little moments for they’re what make your poetry glorious. Blessings, Dear Crystol, Daniel

CayCay Jennings Date: 7/31/2025 4:24:00 PM I was touched by the notes because I relate. Being an Army brat, there were many summer drives to GA where my parents were both raised. Xmas eve car rides for lights. And other. Mom, Dad, Bro, Lil Sis and me - songs sang, games played, memories/feelings made - so the intro is a poem in itself, and actual contest entry is perfect, 'cept I think u want an 's' on globe. I have sent you a soup mail. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Tom Woody Date: 7/31/2025 3:22:00 PM Awesome tanka Crys. You really set a mood and one I think most of us can identify with. The windshield wiper noise could also be hypnotic as well as the tire sound on the road and even the highway bumps. Before long - zzzzzz
