Just A Little Dry Run Poem by Susan Williams

Just A Little Dry Run

Rating: 5.0


.
Did a dry run to see
if I could drive at night.
Joe didn't think it was such a good idea
since I kept covering up my eyes
to shield them from the infernal glare
of those oncoming halogen headlights.
He must be getting old-
he wasn't having any fun at all!
But since I'm looking for adventure
in everyday life, I was having enough fun for two.
Who would have thought
a brave rodeo cowboy
would turn out to be
such a fuddy duddy?

Hey I know just how your cowboy feels! I consider myself the greatest driver. Snow, ice, dark, darting deer, ghetto streets, two tracks and driving rain, thick fog and roaring traffic it's all the same to me. So long as I AM DRIVING. Went to Yellowstone with my boy. Let him drive, with one of my wide eyes looking forward and the other judging the cliff's invitation to certain death!

Soran, you are right! ! ! Just because we do some things daily is no reason to let them go all hum-drum over our life! ! We can take charge and fill our lives with more adventure. I'm glad you found fun and value in my verse! Thank you! ! !

True, may be this is part of the daily routine but on the other hand it is so good poem as well, meanwhile the adventure is an important part in the poets' experiences as Arthur Rimbaud did, we can touch here poetic soul of the poet, it is fabulous masterpiece of work, well done and have a big 10 and into my treasure chest.
