I bet writing this poem helped to pass the time! I'll have to keep the idea in mind for future road trips.
Here's my addition (though you didn't ask for one):
thud! crud.
glad no blood
from your road trip
So sad to see your orange bug crumpled like that Bridget. :(
I saw about the accident on FB, hope you can get the car back like new, Bridget. The poem certainly captures my road trips, love the "wrinkle - wrinkle"!
SO sorry to hear about the accident. What a bummer!! Glad you're okay.
I do love the poem, so vivid with just the right details to take the reader along for the ride. The "wrinkle wrinkle" was a nice tasty surprise!
Brilliant addition, Michelle, thank you! My bug can be fixed, I just am happy I don't need fixing (or my daughter!). =)
Thanks, Linda! There was a lot of wrinkling going on as we ate a lot (too much) junk food. =)
Thanks, Jama! Bring my "reader along for the ride" was what I aimed to do - yay! =)
I'm sorry about the death in the family and the accident, Bridget. Happy no one was hurt...must have been scary!
Great job with the poem. You capture all the different moments. I like "stop and surge."
WAH! Sorry you had to add that last stanza!!
Fantastic poem, but oh! You should have stayed at home a little while longer on your return! :\ (And giggling at Jama, who of COURSE notices the foodie-verse.)
Thank you, Tabatha! Last week was a tough one... Seems there is a lot of "stop and surge" driving in construction zones. =)
Thanks, Mary Lee, me too! It was a bummer. =)
Thanks, Kat! Yes, Jama has a keen eye for all things yummy! =)
