drifting down the highway with the Rolling Stones, smoking mother nature's gift, listening to "Hot Rocks."~~"You can't always get what you want"~~the eight track goes round and round in continuous loop~~song,song...click,click...song,song… click,click...song,song...cli LOOK OUT!!!!

grim reaper cometh
head on! in a instant, then
he steers, life goes on

a close call, maybe too close...stay cool, watching the road ahead...
gotta take another pull...where is it anyway?...
a bony hand passes the roach as the next song begins...
"Please allow me to introduce myself..."

a new passenger
from lands I wish not to see
what an evil grin

bluest sky I ever saw, alive now. What you grinning at? You missed, dude! You perhaps belong over there. Time to toast life, my friend! Death has missed the boat.
“I’m a man of wealth and taste…”

Coming down again
The price of freedom is high
Almost lost our way

road stretches out forever...mind starts to clear as hot, stagnant breath, exhales into a maniacal laugh...deep...eerie...filling the air...
"You two are more aware than I thought." But,
“You can’t always get what you want”

rolled the dice again
came up a winner once more
how long will luck last

Death cheated…forced to move on…down the road…we’ll meet again someday. Wonder where he’s going? Anywhere but here. You thinking what I’m thinking, my friend? Hell yes, it’s Miller time.
“Tiiimmme is on my side…”

Time to drink a brew
Living life large while we can
You just never know

Cool Mike,
You nearly scared the hell out me. That grim reaper is one dude I have no desire to party with.

Me niether. Scott and I had been wanting to do some writing together and Kimberly dropped this form in our laps. I started with a real journey almost gone very wrong and then we just ran with it. The event was from 1977, 30 years ago, perhaps even to the day, come to think of it. He was there, primed and ready. Thanks for your comment, Scott should be included in this.

Dear Mike and Scott,

This is some scary shyt, lol. However, you both took on the Haibun form, ran with it, and you gentleman have created a masterpiece! Very real, very captivating. Pictures are rich and vivid, as I felt that I was on that ride also. The ingredients, the word selection, juxtapositioning of the words, the life message, complying with the form, and mastery of the form is just amazing! Allot of thought went into this Haibun for it is flawless. The Prose simply is enthralling and the Haiku is enchanting! I am sitting here thinking both of you are such great, great talents, and how blessed is JPiC to have you both here sharing with us. Thank you both for sharing your great gifts. When you guys reach the top of the writing food chain, don't forget about me, ok? lol An excellent rating!

A Simoneaux/Carson Production indeed.

Thanks Kim for your comments and the quick fix. That road you talk of is littered with land mines. Equally scary.
