i)
back up from the south
back to bursting snowbanks
sliding through drifts
ii)
early start
even for a trucker
engine hums
wheels caught
in a black ice spin
calm - smile
keep it between the lines
iii)
roads empty
for a hour
or more
just that one guy
out in the dark pre-dawn cold
packing Christmas away
I made it to 400 poems.
500...here I go...
Yippee - 400 gems from the Tired Monk! Loved this - sorry about the snow and black ice. I wont tell you how mild it is out west, would just depress you!
ReplyDeleteBrother Ollie,
ReplyDeleteSo good to find you have returned from a winter sabbatical; rested I trust!!!
Indeed Christmas has passed once again very quickly. Now the weather lingers for another few weeks, or months. It will pass too...Loved the spinning wheel upon the ice...A visual entertainment:)
Really well done with 400 poems...Please return soon and give my best wishes to The Tired Monk.
Happy 2015 Writing Year,
Eileen
