A RIDE ON THE WILD SIDE

A ride to hell and back.

I will sit in the back.

We fly through the night air.

Sound barriers we tear.

Demons fly by our side.

I have nowhere to hide.

They take us to their lair.

I’m pulled hard by my hair.

Life is over for me.

I’ll never be set free.

A ROAD TRIP

Source:pedromirfilho 

I’m taking a road trip.

I shouldn’t have let that slip.

I’m trying to get away

To find a new place to stay.

Where troubles are left behind.

A place that no one can find.

Please don’t follow me.

I yearn to roam free.

Up ahead is a street light.

It’s the only one in sight.

I slow down and roll to a stop.

My car door opens with a pop.

My troubles line up on the road,

Waiting for me to stop, I’m told.

I can’t escape them this time

And not from this awful rhyme.

At the next chance, I get,

I’m off, ready and set.

 

RIDE WITH ME

A ride to hell and back.

I will sit in the back.

We fly through the night air.

Sound barriers we tear.

Demons fly by our side.

I have nowhere to hide.

They take us to their lair.

I’m pulled hard by my hair.

Life is over for me.

I’ll never be set free.

THE ROAD

unreactive

The road ahead is wet and slippery.

The cars shine their red lights for me.

I follow in their slow wake.

Careful not to slip and slide.

Careful to keep my tires on the road.

My eye lids are becoming heavy.

My yawns grow wider.

I must continue on this road.

I must follow the other cars.

SPLIT SECOND DECISION

You’re driving down the road at a high speed,
listening to the squeal of your tires in protest.
Your tires are nearing the edge,
a steep drop to sharp rocks.
Is this what you want?
Is the adrenaline rush worth it?
You have a split second
to make the right decision.
What choice will you make?

NOUNOUS--THE IMPATIENT MALTESE

My favorite picture of my Maltese, Nounous.
He is waiting for my daughter

to come home from New York City.
The train whistles.

He searches for the train.
He waits impatiently by the car window.
The train pulls into the station. 

The doors pass by, one by one.

They are moving too fast for him 

to see his beloved friend.
The train stops.
The doors open.
He sees her.
He howls, 

pawing at the window.
He is still not sure.
He's waiting for her to walk closer.
She stops beside the car window 

and shouts,"Nounous I'm home."
He jumps up and down, 

woofing with joy.
She is home. 

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS PART II

What is that noise?
I am on the other side of the door,
but I don't know where this could be.
The darkness is finally clearing.
I can see grass.
Trees.
And...
What is that?
Three rabbits in a pink car
drive up to me.
The darkest one gets out.
He hops over to me.
With a grin on his face,
he says, "Welcome to Rabbit Land."
He then goes back into the car
and drives away.
How strange.
How unusual.
Am I in a dream?
Or maybe a nightmare?
I hear bells.
Wedding bells?
Is there going to be a wedding?

Find out tomorrow.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

Somewhere ..   Photo by David Soar

I love this picture.
It brings many images to mind.
An isolated cabin somewhere on a rise
of land near a small body of water.
Darkness is surrounding the cabin
but there’s a light inside.
Smoke is drifting upward from the chimney.
Someone is home.
Who lives there?
Why would someone want to live
far from the madding crowd?
Does the person ever feel lonely?
I don’t see a car.
How does this person travel?
I want to peek into the window.
Should I?

HELLO MY BEST FRIEND

Hello my best friend.
What are you thinking as
you stare out the car window?
Are you waiting for one of your
human sisters to come home?
Are you watching for the train?
What goes through your mind?
Whatever thoughts you are having
are definitely pure and sweet,
for you are the sweetest animal.
I love you my dear, Nounous.

THE DEAD GAME -- DAY 122

     Todd drove through the quiet town. No lights shone through any windows; even the street lights were off. Not a very good setting for tonight’s activities.

     Linda continued with her earlier pretense of being annoyed with him and joined Shana in the back seat instead of up front next to him. He smiled at her through the rear view mirror, amused at her cute attempts to preserve her dignity.

     Mike and David were waiting for them in front of their store with Shirley by their side. They were dressed in tuxedos while Shirley wore a short pink flouncy dress. They huddled together as protection from the heavy winds that blew leaves and dust around them. Todd opened the passenger’s door for Shirley.

      Mike stepped off the curb and said, “We picked up Shirley at her store, since we didn’t want her to wait alone. The town is really eerie tonight: the weather started out warm with calm winds and then all of a sudden, the lights went out and the winds started to crazily pick up speed. The streets are deserted; no one seems to be around.”

     He squeezed into the back seat with David and continued, “The stage is definitely being set for tonight: we have the deserted town, the lights going out, and the strong winds. All we now need is a haunted house and some demons, and then we’ll be all ready for tonight’s entertainment.”

     Todd didn’t appreciate Mike’s theatrics. “The weather in this town is very unpredictable: it constantly changes from calm to stormy. But this doesn’t mean that something evil is afoot tonight.”

      Shana giggled. “I like the word ‘afoot’—it gives a spooky aura to everything.” Todd was thankful that Shana was helping him to put everyone at ease. He was worried enough about this evening, and he didn’t need to worry about Mike upsetting everyone unnecessarily.

     “Doesn’t Todd look adorable with his date, Shirley?” asked Shana.

     “I didn’t know they were going out,” said David.

     “Of course we aren’t going out, my dear boy,” said Shirley with a twinkle in her eye, “but I wouldn’t mind being Todd’s date for the evening.”

      “It will be my pleasure, madam,” responded Todd.

THE ROAD TO NOWHERE

Let’s take the road to nowhere.
Anywhere but here.
Far, far away.

NO ESCAPE

The Road To Nowhere
I want to drive and drive
and take the road to its end.
What will I find?
Will it be more exciting than
where I am now?
Will the people be more interesting?
Maybe.
But I’ll be the same person in just
a different place with different people.
Ho hum….
