Scene 1 Driving home Head Lights on Seat belt secure Music playing Weather clear Traffic flowing Happy thoughts Scene 2 Tempo changes Brakes screeching Metal crunching Loud crash Louder bang Everything slows People dazed Details given Lights flashing Vehicles towed Scene 3 Distress and shock Envelopes me leaving nowhere to go but here... |

Dear Roniece, hope you are fine! I missed your presence here, so I am glad you have come back. Your poem describes shock so well. Nowhere to go? Thank you for coming here ... remembering that friendship is always alive here. Even when we are well equipped, sometimes the circumstances unfold in unexpected ways. (((((Roniece))))) Love and hugs. Margherita |

What a terrifying experience! Thank God-ness that you came through it intact! ~ even if your poor car didn't!  This was not exactly the come-back poem that I would have expected! But it sure was a powerhouse one! Succinct and with 'impact'! Welcome home, RDB! You've been missed!  Lindylou |

Driving home Head Lights on Seat belt secure Music playing Weather clear Traffic flowing Happy thoughts Dear Roniece, this first verse sounds like the Roniece I know and I was dissappointed that you had to have an accident to bring you back to us, but thankfully you have not been badly hurt. We have all missed you my dear, so it was very pleasing to see you posting again. Keep up the good work and no more accidents please. Love to you my friend Lindsay |

I liked this simply stated slice of life. A poem which turns an ordinary day into a traumatic one, albeit an unpleasant accident. In the 2nd stanza after the line -Tempo changes - I would have tried throwing the poetic cadence out of joint - a discordant flux of words (yet understandable). Then back to the first stanzas clickety click for the last stanza. This would highlight the plight, the sudden change and also point perhaps to a 'road to damascus' moment. Which has once more surfaced serenity and poetry in your life. A few posters seem to be saying something similar. Yet I fear the hands of fate have brought you their gifts at a high price... I'm new so cannot welcome you back - but I do wish you all the best with your work. Hazard. |

RDB, Sweetie, I felt like I was riding shot-gun. I am so happy that you are okay, but I know how scarey these accidents can be. Welcome back. I hate it when you go away for too long. Ali-girl |
