Days in the life of a poet

When life gets too complicated and our hearts and minds seek out what is good and provides us sustenance...poetry is the breath of life. Words allow us to communicate...to express that within us that is most precious and real. We crave that which is familiar and gives us comfort...read and receive*

August Rush

The sun reflected in the rear-view mirrors
Of the continuous snaking, slithering by
The jammed, congested chaos repeated daily
Hear the beep-blast, then the insults fly

The consistency of the dreaded grind
Same old, same old dance of echoes
The carpool lane is bumper to bumper
Where budding rage begins its throes

School zones are awake and blinking
Better slow it down or risk a ticket
At the bus stop, a shy boy waits
Chewing bubblegum, leaning on a picket*
