The Road/Man Way

Submitted by brittle light on Tue, 2016-05-10 12:18

Chomping through mountains
and buzz cut forests,
through avalanche prone passes and
straddled ravines.

Onward, it goes.

Slithering
slowly,
relentlessly.
Snaking its way
now, 'cross desert and plain.
Seeking only distance.
More and more distance.

...Its ever elusive prey.

Clever - this is a monster consuming everything that get's in it's way, ignoring all dangers and ever hungry. I love the comparison - it's very effective and a reminder of mankind's ever consuming demands!

Thanks for sharing :)

Love Mand xxx

sneaky snake! I can hear the hiss and slither of it from here! Nice work! Love the comparison to a serpent. ~ Geezer

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
