Sunny Open Road

 








Sunny Open Road 


Open roads in the sunshine

Top-down carrier's ready 

Ready for its sunlit ride 

Tall green trees along the way 

They wave at the passing cars 

Happy to see passengers 

Waving back and smiling wide 

Thinking of sunburns tonight

  - I am linked with "What's Going on " at https://newwhatsgoingon.blogspot.com/?m=1  -- This poem was to be written in the vein of Imagist Poetry.  Short, eight lines encouraged and to be pointed.  

 - I tried.  "to write a minimalist, small space poem focusing on a vivid, concrete and specific image that might convey a complex idea or emotion in a single moment. We need a direct language to describe this. It would be perfect if the poem stays within eight lines. "

 Note:  The car belongs to me, a registered Texas Antique Auto.  It is a1998 Ford  Mustang GT 4.6 Convertible that I bought as a retirement present for me from myself.  I retired in 2001.

Swooooon...now that is a beautiful car. It must give you so much pleasure. My Saab 900 is now gone. I must say I never thought I would miss it as much I do. Enjoy it while you can.

You've beautifully captured the sunny open road moment and the activities going round the time. And ouch; for the nightly thought. Smiles.
