| so delicate and a breath of fresh-air where "roadies" are concerned. I think, being Brit, you are speaking here of those who, in the past, we have termed "tramps" or, more poetically "knights of the open road", denegrated to "travellers" these days. What distinguishes modern-day travellers from the "knights" of old is perhaps very little - maybe they start off down their roads of freedom and independence with the same spiritual and aesthetic values in mind, but there are also now those who are drawn into this lifestyle through poverty and homelessness as well as other "unfortunate" circumstances. I like this romantic view very much, Jon. It makes me think of the nomadic bardic tradition, too. Beautiful lyricism here. "Roadies" to me conjure visions of those employed by touring rock-n-roll bands to safeguard and install their equipment from place to place! :)) I like also the fact that you have chosen minimalist punctuation in this piece, to run your thoughts and language on.... xx |

Jon,
This poem comes full circle, much like situations in our life seem to. I like how you used roadside imagery in this poem to show thoughts and feelings. Hugs,

A VERY interesting concept, Jon Michael, and I wouldn't want to know my Earthly destination, but with God's Grace I want my Final Destination to be with Him. What a Destination that would be...
Roadies...yup, very interesting

To steal a phrase from someone much wiser than me, 'the fun is not in arriving at your destination, it is found in the journey.' paraphrase....
You have penned this quite well.
