Red lipstick tube
Streaking down the expressway
A traveling
Carnival ride on wheels
Whooshing wind
Blowing hair, songs, words,
Floating
Towards the sky
Looking up
Tree arms stretching over us
Creating
An emerald canopy
Your fingers dancing
On my skin, remembering Costa Rica
Driving
A ribbon candy road
This is a revision of a poem written years ago. I have been dealing with a naughty tooth. Root canal yesterday.

I like the opening line, the lipstick brought to mind rush hour traffic. Then by the end, a red convertible.
I just love the wind in my hair, driving on a twisting road.
Have a great weekend, and feel better.

Lovely and fun! Root canals STINK!!! Feel better...it's over!
This also makes me think red--"A ribbon candy road>" Very nice.
Hi Jone- this poem was so animated- I loved all the adjectives of movement you use...
"A ribbon candy road" was great imagery- they did look like little highways!
Hope you feel better!
A real road movie of a poem....
Definitely a great convertible poem. Your root canal could inspire a red poem too! Ouch!
