NaPoWriMo #7 – Free / Ready to Roll / Old School

This is my seventh post for National Poetry Month 2010
• one free verse poem
• one haiku
• one onomatopoeia
• one noxious fume

Free

•

fueled by the freedom of the open road
we race our way into the sunset
leaning tightly into curves
wind whipping our hair
our knees tucked
heads down
we rocket

thriving on the thrill of the throttle
embracing the magnificence
living in the moment
not counting time
or keeping track
just being
free

Ready to Roll

•

engine oil changed

grips cleaned tire pressure checked

spring’s highway beckons

• • •




 

Old School

•

(onomatopoeia)

kick down — kick down — kick down

rest

kick down — kick down

Here’s a little sumpin’ sumpin’ I wrote for Alan Summers’ day 7 RWP prompt: “humor in love”.

 

Phew

•

who knew lovemaking would end
with my lover breaking wind
oh god did that foul stench offend
we’ll not soon make sweet love again

here’s one thing that I’ll be hope’n
if we do the windows open
no refried beans next time we’re flirty
‘cause on a scale of ten that fart’s a thirty

•

(in tanka form)

our loving did end
when my sweet lover broke wind
a stench to offend

no beans next time we’re flirty
ten scale – that fart’s a thirty

  1. Refried bEans i think (feel awkward for that)
    Is that 30 on the Richter scale? 🙂
    Bikes are not my friends anymore.. can’t remember why… got a hospital report… somewhere – my memory blank for a 2-3 week period.
    Make that 7 of the best!

  2. Stan –

    Thanks man, I must have run out of “E’s” in the early morning hours. Hey, I’m trying to get published — would you like a position as an editor, you proofread better than my SpellCheck… 😉

  3. Thanks all for visiting, reading, and for the kind words, and Maureen — it’s not so much courage as it is a lack of good sense, and an ineffective social filter… blame it on my Adult ADHD… 😉

    …rob

  4. These are good , Rob. God the way you are belting out poems, so prolific. April is the month you are inspired, is it?

    Rob, thank you so much for reading my poems. I guess you have some problems leaving comments. Just leave your comments and they will show only after I moderate them.

    Happy writing.
