A recent long road trip to many destinations left me wishing my high tech vehicle had the power to fly...

Road Wish Going eighty on I-80, Eighteen-wheeler on my rear. Ending up as road kill, Is my nascent fear. Seven days of pounding, Concrete ridges bore. Counting miles and time, Like someone�s keeping score. Or smoothly tires screaming, Siren above the roar. Safety grooves a singing, An ear-piercing soar. Music pulsing to the beat, Cruising down main street. Looking for America, And finding only traffic. So put some magic, In these controls. Make them fly Like pilot�s souls. Above these asphalt, And concrete trails. Where the sun sets, On cloud�s wispy tails. And every trip, Has a silver lining. Copyright 2007 � Ronald W. Hull 10/14/07

I've have so often wished to be able to get some lift in traffice. And 80mph on the Interstate now is nothing--you have to stay right.
Sounds like you had a great trip anyhow; where'd you go? Nice road poem.

I recall fondly of two-lane highways that went through every little town. We bitched about it then, and they built the superhighways and we're bitching about that too . . . I'm with Susan, give me the back roads . . . Nice poem . . .

Looking for America,
And finding only traffic.
America...always in the fast lane whisking passed memories. Not me. Give me the backroads..any day!
Love,
Susan
