Reckless

Reckless

He made a left turn
in his shiny red truck
coming from the rear
of my purple escort

Cutting me off
to beat the light
we watched in awe
this reckless sight

thanks for commenting really appreciate it. This is it. this is just a glimpse into scene at the light when my son was taking me to an appointment. It was suppose to be written like in a way that describes a picture through time to a scene of a split moment where someone could have been seriously hurt because impatience. maybe I can word it in a way where it would seem finish. I would haft to work on that. Barbara ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara
