The photo prompt for Alastairs Photo Fiction writing challenge this week is fascinating. A couple in a vintage vehicle on a modern highway. The muse took over on this one as I viewed the past (the vehicle) the present (traveling on the road) and the future (their destination). Enjoy:

The Roads You Travel
How many roads do you travel as you journey through each passing day, yesterday, today or tomorrow’s choices of road – an array. I think that we travel on each road depending on how the day goes, today’s road may just be reflective Yesterday’s full of woes. Tomorrow’s road nurture’s our day dreams today’s road weaving through turns, tomorrow’s encountering road blocks to hinder our travels and yearns. I may ponder too long on the right road and wait ’til the crossroads have passed, missing the signs that direct me turn ’round and look for the last. The last road, the one that’s the true one, the last road that sped quickly by, the last road I need to return to the road where my future does lie. How many roads do you travel the high one, the middle or low, just do make sure at the crossroads take it easy and go very slow.~ Penny L Howe, 2013

Hmm, this let me relate about the roads of life 🙂
Thank you Yoshiko!
Love where your muse takes you. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
I usually don’t like poetry anymore. There are a time way far back when I enjoyed reading and writing it. My tastes have changed since then. However, I definitely identified with your poem and enjoyed the style and flow.
Hello Glynis, then I am very pleased. Time, a valuable commodity today. Thank you for using some of yours to read and comment. I appreciate your compliment very much.
AnElephantCant foresee the future
He never knows which is the right way
He keeps getting it wrong
So he wanders along
Hoping yesterday will be better than today
