A ‘Poetic’ Journey Too

11 March 2005


On the road from
Tallahassee to Jacksonville
on a Friday night

Heading along the highway
towards the ocean
Upon a journey left to right

Across the interstate
wearing the number ten
Set for a touchdown
nearer and nearer each bend

Approaching the St Johns
crossing over at the bridge - along the way
In having travelled two hundred
miles.-.all in the one day

With the Atlantic in sight
looking for the ‘two-oh-two’
Oh to be there at last
driving the whole night through




a poet who cares

Just remember, I have never been to Florida in my life, but from within my mind

As to the bait, that indeed caught a fish on line

Well if you have never actually driven from Tallahassee to Jax, then you have missed all the pretty parts of Florida!
I live almost dead center between the two cities, where the three rivers meet. Its gorgeous here... and quiet! Nice write.. I enjoyed it
