Note from author: when reading this poem, you should listen to this song:
A poem challenge from a poet friend. One song, one poem, ten minutes. This is what I came up with.
ten minutes at home
home
somewhere
anywhere
adventure
lies in wait
anxious for
us to start
whatever
that
is
winding roads
ripped maps
shuffled playlists
bare feet
windows rolled down
your hair whipping
through the wind
baggy t-shirt and
ripped jeans
hole in your pocket
coins dropping
on the sidewalk
pennies face up
for the next person
your hand takes mine
rain dripping from the
sky light gray clouds
rolling over deep blues
this road takes us
somewhere
anywhere
wherever
that
is
you sing loudly
off key just like me
smiles exchanged
mumbles when we
don’t know the words
they said we’re crazy
they may be right
who are they
and why do we
listen to them
this adventure
has no rules
this friendship
has no bounds
because when
I’m with you
whenever
that
is
i’m home
