Comrades Of The Road Poem by S Holland

Comrades Of The Road

Rating: 5.0


I feel a certain kindred
with the drivers of the land.
I think of all the many pressing
strains we have to stand.

For driving is a function
where you're always looking twice,
and glancing in your side-mount
and your rear-view mirrors thrice.

But sometimes when I'm driving,
and the car is floating smooth,
and the other drivers pass me,
I catch a certain mood.

I feel a certain kindred
with the drivers of the land.
We all are flowing smoothly
and the feeling is so grand.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I've always enjoyed long-distance driving, and at one time was planning to become an OTR driver.

So glad I inspired you, Patricia. And you are right. We do need more peace on the roads.

I never thought of driving in such a good way. Maybe there would be less accidents if we thought this way. Next time i will smile as I pass by a comrade of the road. very inspiring Sandi.
