Country Roads
I like roads that set me free,
winding roads and wild roads
as far as I can see.
I like roads that weave and trail
backwoods roads
dirt black roads
where daydreams rise and sail.
I like roads lined with trees
shadow roads
creekside roads
roads with lots of leaves.
I like roads out in the sun
highway roads
byway roads
roads where rivers run.
I like roads along the shore
country roads
mountain roads
city roads and more.
I like roads that span the seasons
summer roads winter roads
autumn roads
and spring.
I like roads that tell me secrets
roads that whisper
roads that sing.
I like roads that span the seasons
summer roads winter roads
autumn roads
and spring.
I like roads that tell me secrets
roads that whisper
roads that sing.
I like roads that never end,
roads that linger
roads that bend.
roads that bend.
I like roads that let me roam.
I like roads that
lead me home.
lead me home.

I like all these kinds of roads, too! Perfect ending - sometimes the best road is the one that leads back home. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the pattern. Did you start out with that in mind, or did it just happen?
Thank you Robyn and Mary Lee for your comments! And yes, Mary Lee, all of my poems "just happen." ;-) I'm a big believer in letting the poem idea take me where it wants to go before I begin putting any limits or restrictions on it pattern-wise or otherwise. For me, that's the exciting part of writing each new poem idea, letting it take me where it wants to go, then hanging on for the ride. That's when the magic happens, when the surprises pop up and I discover things I didn't know I knew until I wrote them. It's only later after the poem has written itself that I go back and make a few fine tunings here and there.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I love going for drives and eventually going home.
