Joining dVerse poets with quadrille #44 for “kicks” tonight 🙂 A “quadrille” is a poem of exactly 44 words, not including title…I counted hyphenated words as 2.
since nineteen
twenty-six, midway
thru roarin’ twenties,
classic car aficionados
cooly cruised or raced
rip-roarin’ midway
across america’s past,
passed, and passing
drive-ins, diners,
and wigwam motels
motoring along
singing a song
wheeling to
get their kicks
on route sixty-six!
a poem in my pocket

Nice uses of alliterations and rhymes, skippily zooming down a popular memory lane. 🙂

So fun–memories of the era I grew up in. So much history and Americana. Thanks for a nice trip.

I think that romance is great,… though I think more of Grapes of Wrath perhaps.

Hah! I am old enough to recognize and have lived through the phrase, Get your kicks on Route 66″ and….have seen that wigwam hotel! 🙂

We stopped by same hotel/motel on a trip from California!

I have driven parts of Route 66. I will say, wigwam hotels intrigue me. There are some in Cherokee. It is on my to do list.

That is a famous road. I wonder how much is still there to travel.

We drove a section in Arizona…until we ran out of road and returned to interstate!
