Speed Demon

Speed Demon

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

Life in the fast lane

driven on the white line,

not taking sides

on which side I right.

 

Top-notch speed

blurs the signs

so not to clutter the mind

with man made directions.

 

Taking the curves

is the ultimate rush

for if you crash and burn

you’ll die in a blaze of glory…

 

Allowing your soul

to rise from the ashes.

This was very cleverly done...love these lines...they are picture perfect...as is driven on the white line and title...Life in the fast lane indeed...

Top-notch speed
blurs the signs
so not to clutter the mind
with man made directions.

This was a very good piece with great images...a profound write...

I really liked this piece. Speeding through life is always a rush but there's also the risk of disaster and burn out whether you're driving or just running on sheer motivation. Another great write!

Laughing at the 'way to go' thought that ripped through my mind as I read this .. speed freaks pain me - i anticipate the worst, for them, for the people around them, but do know that riding pillion is quite something! Having written that, but re-reading your words, they could apply to living in life's fast lane, not missing a moment of one's allotted time .. neither day nor night

I like the run of this .. it's man, it's life .. a dangerous deed set in daring words.

Great stuff, Dale. Love the 3rd paragraph. Man made directions. Just give me a quarter mile stretch and I'll be happy

Ha! Once again, I read it as a love relationship. Nicely done. You leave room for healing with that last verse.

Well me having three teenage boys, it scares the beejeebies out of me however, I know the thrill too but mama tries to keep it under wraps though. hehe.

It's a great poem, Dale.

like the goddamn speed phoenix. this actually pushes the pulse and can be applied to anything..love, lust, speed, this is one of those pieces that follows one theme, a singular idea, but can easily push the branches...

i dig it

A friend of mine once made me promise to let him be buried still sitting on his motorbike. I didn't really thing of the logistics when I agreed. :) Excellent speedy poem cowboy.

The title evoked such images of racing... across lanes and through life. Your poem didn't disappoint, speeding us across the fast lane... stirring all that is passion and purpose, and the rush of simply being alive to the fullest.

A prolific piece filled with thoughtprovoking imagery.

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
