In my head.
Step lively there if you insist
I can't stop well in all of this
Your control is better than mine
on icy streets in winter time.

Cars are coming I can't always stop
please look up and down the block
and realise just how quick you are
compared to my big sliding car.

Be alert. Be safe.
Don't make other's live
with the horror of your stupidity.

(A public service anouncement brought to you by this station) :D

Road kill


my tongue still,
yet compassionate screams:
hate
love
eat
shit
wait
wonder
ponder
pray
anger
listen up
"shut up!"
up chuck
wood chuck
cry chuck
listen!
siren's wail

flattening onto the street
as two tons of metal rolls over me

"site, place, position" --Roget's Thesaurus
Arrogant bastard,
road raging thrives!
Warning signs plastered,
gamboling lives.

You with your hand up,
no right of way,
You with your warm cup,
weather at bay.

No longer distant,
emotions rise.
Changed in an instant,
ignoring size.

Age full of lost tact,
cell phones and crowds.
Each unacknowledged act,
next meeting's doubts.

Snow days
pearly, frothy,
glaring, wearing, tearing,
worn treads gripping slushy snowdrifts
slow trek

I have a stride
my boots hug the slush
I am a woman
my right hand out to say-
I am me,
You need to take heed
I can be someone
who stops traffic
I am calling you
to consciousness
try and stop me
wake to me
forever

Crossing streets of danger,
I'm the Ice Queen.
Walking past all warnings
I am the one who rules.
Danger or success?
Mastery or graceful falling -
I'm the one who tries
when others give up the game.

"Chill, Stop!" I say
God give me more time on this ice!
Thoughtless driven speeding car reveals delay
By my pounding heart and steps for traction
I slide and dive free by my own device.

until death do us part

is but my hand I gave to thee,
to trust and hope for eternity;

and now my hand in finality,
I give that you might spare me.

i`m rusty and this poem is ehh uhh ehh uhh....

A most amazing thing
happened to me;
I was crossing the street
and a car stopped for me.

So kind was the
driver that I said
to the man,
``I`m moving just as
fast as I can.

I know that I'm
walking and
using your time
but I'm hurrying
for an event
that will be quite
divine."

"Our baby is coming
and because you
stopped as I crossed,
I'll see baby arrive
and won't experience
the loss;
of missing her breath.
or is it a he

I`ll find out quite
soon and I`ll be
right there too
just because you were
kind and stopped the car
for a moment or two.``
