Lonely on a busy highway
a reminder of life right now
pretense that we are all together
having a fun powwow
So many different avenues
everyone taking a different route
passing each other
there is no way out
In the spaghetti junction
deciding to race
weaving in and out
hoping to escape
Others decide to join
having fun going great speeds
some jumping the barriers
others fighting for the lead
Is there an exit
no one knows for sure
it’s a little fun
creating a detour

Hello… I just happened to find myself at your door, while blog hopping. I got so caught up, and could not find a stopping place, then I came to where it said to put in my email address, and be further compelled. So I did, and it took me to this poem, where there are no other visitors in sight. Am I the first? Is this a hidden post? Should I reflect on your incredible writing skills, or perhaps acknowledge your driving prowess? What are preferred proper comments here? I do not want to trifle with tradition. What if I should break into a riff?
(These things happen.)
Hi. Thank you for reading my blog. You are the first to visit my blog tonight. I normally write earlier in the day. This is a positive blog that is written for fun. I invite comments but do not engage in riffs. My blog is meant to be lighthearted and a pleasant read sort of like the old comics page in newspapers. Have a wonderful day!
By riffing, I only mean, my commentary might rhyme, just a little. (I have a rhyming disorder.)
By the way, I hail from Memphis. I grew up in the Mississippi Delta. (I call it home.)
Thank you for responding. I look forward to your future posts here.
That was so cute!
Thank you.
Nice way!
Thank you.
Wonderfully expressed! Ah, detours are where real discovery dwells.
I agree. Thanks for reading.
How exciting! Detours are so much fun! ❤
Thank you. I agree. There are so many adventures on detours. Have a wonderful day!
