Not so random prompt

[TranquillityBase]

Write a poem, any form or length, about expressways.

************************************************************************


Tonight
I sit on the banks of a river
but hear the roar of an expressway
across a flood plain
whose trees winter has stripped
letting lose the full fury
of a steel chorus
where the eyes expect 
a woodland whisper.

Ex-press ways

You can't just write the story.
You have to say what they want
around the mentioned event.
You always say the same thing
around a different topic.
I won't do it anymore.
We all become journalists
to spread the truth. We all quit too.

TranquilityBase - I both saw and felt your images. It takes the poet's pen to create those elements with just a few words. I enjoyed this and thanks for sharing. Namyh
