drive.

my drive is
Is my imahmgination
Headphones blaring
shutting out thecworld

Almost the same... lol... accept i get the wind 🍃 in my hair and no one can hear me singing at the top of my lungs... hahaha
Ty, C
I appreciate the read and the comments
💜

Now you got listening to Def Lepord's pour some sugar on me.  Great poem.  We need to take a drive together and do some crazy things.  Keep on writing

hahaha... Once upon a time, Def Leppard would have been blaring, maybe... nowadays it's more Avett brothers or a throw back to Journey's Greatest Hits... lol...Ty for reading

How about I wanna sex you up or I'll make love to you by Boyz II Men.  You are a hot sexy beautiful smart woman.

lol... I appreciate your compliments but we're friends so I'd be listening to kick ass driving songs.. me thinks... lol.... Talking Heads or Prince... 😂

nothing beats the combo of movement at speed and immersive music.
Loved the images both this one and one on the NoPoo thread.

Ty so much for the generous list add and the kind words, cf... I truly could drive and drive, some nights... If there were no such thing as traffic - ohh swoon... lol.. I couldn't decide on either pic... so I figured one here and one on NoPoo.. lol.. score!
I appreciate you, my friend 🙏
🌹🚙 ☺

it's out there, BP.... I assure you ;)

Ohhh cassettes!! I had just started to learn to drive when cars were being switched over from cassette tape radios to CD players. The old car that I started out driving with had a total badass cassette player (for the times... lol). Those are some fond memories for me as well.  

I appreciate you reading and taking the time to leave your reminiscing, which sparked my own! Very cool... ;)  
Much love and respect,

Bravissima, Goddess Blue❣❣ This poem is, to this reader, a flight of fancy that describes so well one of the perfectly satisfying, simple pleasures in life.  I love this beautifully sensual pictures this passage conjures,
"roadside charms  
like dancing girls  
lost in flowers  
upon ruffian arms"

This passage is so hip, groovy, and jazzy,
"Ohh—  
that  
fucking  
cool  
flow  
 ya, know?...  
[I] definitely know"
All in all a fun homerun, sweet BB🌹🐻💋🐻💋🐻🌹

lol... Ohhh BB, you get my little eccentricities hahaha. Those "little hip, groovy, jazzy" lines.... yes- an intended idea of music playing on the radio, emanating that jazzy feeling as you're driving... were my thoughts.... Hee hee ... kinda corny but then again, I am a bit when I'm driving like that. Singing full blast to my favorite music, trying to alleviate some sort of stress or just having a blast...
one my favorite things..I appreciate you reading and leaving your insightfulness, my friend
A fun home run, is a nice thing to say... thanks.
warmest regards, BB! 🐻🌹🐻

You've captured me perfectly when you say, "singing full blast" I do this all the time and it does help relieve stress.  It satisfies my compliance with "dance like nobody's watching."

Man. I’d give anything to be in a car and just go somewhere else at the moment. This lockdown is a bit of a shitter indeed.  

I love that you’ve included so many little details from the dancing baby hairs to the hypnosis haze. It all made this feel very much like the scene of a movie.  

I too very much enjoyed reading this on the NoPoo thread. Thank you for sharing.

(Who has hijacked a car and is now gone, gone, gone... 😊)

I am picturing you Thelma & Louise style, driving with that sense of freedom, minus the horrible over the cliff ending, of course ... 😂  
 
Damn.. to not even be able to hit the road and get a small semblance of that freedom feeling, is a complete shitter, indeed. Yet, in the scheme of things, your own contributions to your (yes, I empathize that it's tiresome) lockdowns have essentially saved lives. Whereas FL is chock full of people who just don't give a shit. We don't have a mandatory lockdown, we're  surrounded by people who have decided not to participate in mask-wearing nor social distancing, now (or any longer) because 'Murica! . sigh... Tradeoffs being what they are, I'd much rather be missing long drives too... Then deal with "anti truthers" (sheesh!) which equal additional weeks and weeks of worry, fear, and continued mental and physical health stressors..... can I come with in your stolen fantasy car?? hahaha 😂  
 
I really appreciate your thoughtful comments, Missy. The reading list add, too :)  
Here's to you taking a long drive when days ahead aren't locked away... .

I miss the solitude of jumping in my car, my 80s metal ringing in my ears, the fuck the world attitude
God I miss the open road
Its not the same in my electric wheelchair lol
Love and light
Ron x

Ahhhh I can almost hear the Whitesnake playing on the radio.. Yesssss! Fuck the world attitude, indeed! I would drive us both (even on that wrong, right side of road of yours!!)... 💜.... just to have you relive that awesome freedom.  I definitely understand exactly what you were saying, my friend 🙏
Ty for reading, leaving those thoughts, the list add and your loveliness, Ron

You've made driving sound fun. Beautiful poem.

Ty, my lovely new friend, I'm glad you think so.
Appreciate you reading and taking the time to leave your remarks.

You're welcome, my dear.

Driving and music ... Two favorites ... With the right music we go faster ... When I turn the music off ya better hold on ... Better with the right mix tape(playlist) lol ...  Nice ... Bless and love ... .  

Ohhh my dear... you totally get it.... I can feel the breeze.... Ty for those terrific comments, dearest FeNyX

Hahaha, at times distance truly is like therapy. But the weird thing is that we were considering a similar piece but was moulding it with our mind. We're kinda happy that we didn't write one judging by this piece. This is really tight Lady

lol... Hi there, Me.
It's very nice to see you, my friend. I enjoy your insightful comments, very much.
Darn it... about your own piece, I would really like to read it, so maybe you'll reconsider writing it.

Thank you for the kind words, and your "really tight"... it means a lot to me :)
glad you enjoyed reading...
Much love,
🌹

Not sure why I got a nostalgic feeling out of this, as if I was traveling through the mid 80s or some past I can't recall. Either way, this was terrific Blue, you conjure up great images and emotions with these wonderful spills.
Great work.

I got that vibe writing it Walter. I learned to drive at the very tail end of the 80's... but it's that cassette tape player memory... lol... Terrific drives with the radio up, winds blowing....Ahh... so much fun. I thank you for reading and leaving these comments for me to flashback to!!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it and grateful for you
Much love,

PHEW, too nice.  I like this a lot Blu.

Awww... thank you so much for reading and and sharing your thoughts, Remy... sorry I missed this comment... My bad... I am so happy you liked this one, it's one of my favorites... it's the sense of freedom, I think...

Anyway, I really appreciate you and your visits

I realised that I have exposed a piece of how my ADD works from this poem and it has made me read some of yours again.
This one particularly, shows how I need to hear me read this and interpret the written word into a spoken reading to understand how I see things differently with my ADD.
This made me think back to other poets here and I see how the connection begins to work for me and moves me to write and allows me to get why some are on my poets list and that some don't make it.
Thank you greatly for this piece that jibes so beautifully with me.
Richard
P.S. I would love to record my reading of this so you can hear my interpretation and to comment on that

Your comments are so generous and open, Richard. I thank you so much for such kindness.
I hope you're doing well and I would still love your offer of recording anytime you're able.... no worries or pressures

I truly appreciate all of your support and I'm so very happy you enjoyed this piece.
I hope to see you soon, you're always welcomed here

I am sorry that I have not completed the recording, I have been having a few issues lately and am just sorting the last few things out.
I will get this done in a couple of days.
Richard

No worries at all, Richard!
Life has a way of getting in the way... no rush, my friend. Whenever you're able... or even if you're not, it's the thought that counts.
Well wishes, your way!
✨ 💫🌟✨
best,

I'm always here.... quietly reading. 🙂 Life doesn't allow as much time to engage as I would like.
(Or, maybe I'm just saving up all my words for the NaPo challenge!)

incredible vocals coupled with incredible ink -- Wow!!!!

Thank you, Tallen... Richard and I appreciate your lovely comments!

It's so free spirited and wonderful. The wanderlust for the open road, the wind in your hair, music blasting.
Your pieces, especially this one, is very revitalizing.
Nicely done Blue.

Ahhh.... revitalizing!!
