for now I'll focus on the snowy white peaks
that mask on the silhouettes of mountains
that face above the aproaching highway

Tha song on the radio serves a timely reminder
as I wait before the final intersection
idle before the motionless lights

I watch the windshield wipers
push the water of these raindrops
my favored casualties
my intolerable souvenirs

I'd like to think this red glare
would stay forever
but it will soon turn green
and I'll have to move one

To a bed, just to rest my head
heavy with the thought
of how I could just turn back
and do it all again [comments] => 2 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 31 [informant] => justjonesy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

I love how you made something as mundane as driving be very descriptive. I am with you on having my heart sink when I leave to come back to school.. too many people I miss when I am gone.

I could see the wipers..pushing the rain out of the way..and feel you not wanting to go on green..great job.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
