THE ROAD TAKEN

 

Source:

 

The road curves.

It straightens.

Past meadows.

Crowded cities.

Miles of pasture.

Windows open.

Wind rushing past.

Follow the birds.

Until the next town.

The next city.

The next stop.

Engine rumbles.

It dies.

Destination reached.

Time served.

SUSANNE, I LOVED THIS FINE 'SKETCH' OF LIFE. WE ARE BORN AND IMMEDIATELY BEGIN OUR JOURNEY, ON VARIED ROADS, TOWARDS OUR DESTINATION. AND NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE LOCATED ON THIS EARTH THE DESTINATION IS THE SAME, IT IS THE FINAL STOP...FOR US ALL. WELL DONE, THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

You describe a road trip perfectly. It's seeing these sights and do some appreciation for the architecture of the eras...……..I really like this, hon!!

Love ya!

Ahhhh . . . "The Road Taken," indeed. I've taken many, many roads to arrive at the one I am on presently. Only one more road I need to travel and that is the "Time served" thoroughfare.

I've always liked to take a road just to see where it goes. You're never lost, just temporarily misplaced.

The hardest part of any poem in my opinion
is knowing how to end it. A good ending is
a teaching moment. Like yours. Bravo!

ROAD TRIP

A road trip poem taking us to stations
of the gross. Lonesome highways overlooked
by bob dylan, meadows where poets catch
awful rhymes in cloudy jam jars
neon-lit country music bars, Willie Nelson's
not on tonight. We have bluegrass and Tex-Mex
tales of the southwest, and an Englishman
called Bowie whose cutting up newspapers
and getting a lot of milk and writing
weird limey verse.

The cactus men stand proud in the desert.
I hope we make a stop at D.H. Lawrence's
old ranch in Taos, is this the panhandle?
Flint Ridge, Arkansas, I guess!
Soon be in Oklahoma. It's kinda red.
