Country Roads

Driving along on country roads in the autumn is one of my favorite things to do. On a frosty October or November morning, with a good cup of coffee and some good music, you head out into the mountains and along those old, winding roads the spell cast by those lonely farmhouses, those old barns, the rustic farmstands with their wild honey and apple cider and pumpkins clears your head of all the raveled up knots of tensions gathered in the world of today. I've always wanted to try and capture a portrait of that moment of escape in a poem, and here I tried to use this ode format and a natural conversational tone, sprinkled with little echoing rhyme effects here and there, to do it. It was fun to write, and I hope you enjoy it. estory
