Down And Dirty

 

The more I drive along this dirt road

the more things never change.

Every mile makes it harder to see

and my view of life gets grittier.

The window covered with muck

makes the world one color

and I was not made

to see everything the same way.

That is why I have decided

to abandon this vehicle

and go about it on foot.

Though it may take me longer

but I will be able to remember

where I was and whom I met.

Besides I am in no rush

for this journey to end.

Sometimes life can be very blurred, and cloudy, even fuzzy, in this excellent metaphor you use but the trick is to turn the wipers on, on time lol
I liked the dark, and depressive ondertone in this one, some writings need to have this, to see things positive again after... Loved it.

The path less traveled can be the most memorable ones. You have a wonderful way of expressing the desire to get out of the rut and really live! Well penned!

At least you got on the dirt road for awhile,try the horse,all we have is now,(I don't believe that),I like the poem up until you go on foot,I've gone on foot a long way, believe me there are some better speeds,Even laying down dreaming,Wonder what Darwin had to say about Dreaming?Frozen re- writing my brain,

I enjoyed how you allowed your charachter to evolve in this story, even though it is small. When he goes from vehicle to foot, i feel it symbolizes an important turning point in life. Its the point when you realize there is not much road left, and you should savor what you have. I really enjoyed this, it is a nice poem!

I love this, the tired feeling of every day life bringing you down, then the reminder that life is about the journey not the destination.

Not be cliche...but it's about the journey, not the destination. Nice job.

Amen brother.

Love the whole theme of this poem. The idea of a new adventure and taking each moment and really living it

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much... you are right on the money... we spend to much time hurrying through life that we miss the best parts of it.

[Poetic Beauty]
