A little patience and understanding is all you need to enjoy the beach...


city dwellers flee
beach traffic melts the highway
back roads welcome me

Those terrible exhaust fumes alone would drive anyone out of the big cities. We stopped off in Aruba during our recent cruise. Traffic was bumper to bumper in the city. Could hardly breathe. Running for the beach seems the thing to do, expecially for the lungs. Good one, Joy! Great shot of the congested city too!

God Bless

Joy, the brevity of the haiku form gets straight to the heart of the matter...yet you open the imagination to a vista of endless possibilities as I travel along those backroads...

Wonderful invitation to let the mind wander...

It's those little Asides...that bring some of the greatest spiritual freedom.........and the beach, instead of buildings! They can surely blur our view, eh?

Great haiku, Joy!

Love, Rhonda

Back roads are a respite from the madness of highways; nicely done, Joy. Thank you for sharing this haiku. Love and peace to you,

There is nothing like a great back road. I was in Ontairo when the Queen highway had to be closed down because the pavement became too hot! Hot summer :-) Great Haiku!
Reviewed by Mr. Ed 7/13/2006
I think the back roads are truly the best, too, Joy.

Joy

I have often found the back roads are the best and quickest way to get from point A to point B...

Educational haiku...;)
