FREEWAY MADNESS HOLIDAY HAIKU TRILOGY

On January 2, 2012January 2, 2012 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Haiku, Holidays

These were written for fun, but, honestly,
holiday travel can be a bit daunting,
even though we love road trips!
Hope you enjoy! 🙂

I. OBSERVATION

Driving or flying?
Benefit of tailgating?
Reckless road traveled

II. CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES

More Innovation
Eco friendly progression
Helping Mother Earth

III. NIGHT ROLLING

Black sky surrounding
Red eyes watching us closely
Keeping our distance

I usually choose to fly.

  Well, I have to admit my slight fear of flying keeps me on the road, but I’ll fly if I have to! 🙂

Definitely need more innovation to help Mother Earth in 2012! The “red eyes watching” is my favorite part–I am chuckling over all the ramifications popping into my “littly” brain over reading that line! Thanks once again for your wonderfully ethical and compassionate and fun-loving “take” on hectic stuff in our lives!

  Thanks, Rose, I’m glad you enjoyed these just for fun; while driving, the thoughts came into my mind and I’m surprised I remembered them, as I couldn’t write them down going 70 miles an hour or so! 🙂

Love your haikus! Very imaginative. I played with haiku for a time, when I got bored with my usual style of writing – maybe I’ll have to play with it again –
