joy ride


“Time goes faster the older you get”
i realize it’s true, especially the good times

meandering multiplied (s)miles,
you and i on camping road trips;
every curve reveals

another vista of love’s wonder upon
bespectaculared smiling blue eyes,
mirror pools of creation’s beauty.


Quadrilles and smiles with De and dVerse poets today 🙂

    Ok, you did a great job with the word ‘smile’ in this, but my favorite word is this one: bespectaculared. 🙂 YES.

    Time certainly does fly by as you age but there is time to revere the simple things and remember the happy times. Lovely sentiments in your poem.
