View from the Passenger Side (A Villonnet)A Poem by Doug JenkinsOn teaching my son to drive.
My heart is pounding faster with each mile.
Adrenaline is flowing furiously, exampled by the sweat now on my brow yet I am forced to don this peaceful smile. This task of teaching one to drive's a trial, augmented by the angst of pain and death; we now approach the freeway entrance ramp my heart is pounding faster with each mile. His day of birth was but a little while ago; but here he’s standing, nearly man, but still a boy, requesting for the keys yet I am forced to don this peaceful smile. My heart is pounding faster with each mile, as this, my son, drives toward the future’s light yet I am forced to don this peaceful smile. © D. Allen Jenkins © 2018 Doug JenkinsAuthor's Note
