Worth it

You said you didn’t know,

weren’t sure what would happen,

felt it, but couldn’t promise

the trip would be worth it

 

Road construction

barricades, lane closures,

detours

 

There are so many obstacles

standing in our way,

hard decisions - you think

I should just turn around

 

Turn here, one way

No passing, reduce speed

Fines double

 

I will drive no matter how far,

how long, how many roadblocks,

just to see you

and hope you say yes

 

Slow, yield, stop

Do not enter

Exit only, obey signs

 

Because in the end

my love for you will guide me,

and even if the answer is no,

just to see you will make this trip

 

worth it

The structure of this one is powerful and brilliant!! You are so creative my friend, out of this world as per usual. You are one of my favourite poets on this site.

I am reminded of the love I have for my son with this one. No mountain to high and all the disco. Loved the concept and the execution on this one:)

I'm a big fan of antiphonal poetry too.
(Ok, I stole that from Tammy)

Stay on course Will but try to avoid those speeding tickets.
This was a nice road trip! :)

Thank you Ana. Was that you I saw hitch hiking?

[Matching Socks]

Nashville or bust... Where you headed?

[willweb]

Just a bit further north than that, going to see someone special. Want to come?

I've always been a fan of antiphonal poetry - poems that talk to themselves - because I guess I talk to myself. and sometimes like this one - you get two poems.
Well penned.
Exit only - obey signs. Yup.
