MUSING DOWN THE HIGHWAYS

MUSING DOWN THE HIGHWAY

A poem by Nancy Deutsch aka NanNan

In this great land from sea to sea

There's many a sight that beckons me

I revel in the roads untaken

The sprawling cities soon forsaken

Past swamp and lakes through piney grove

With naught to do but roam and rove

Through sunlit valley up misty peak

Without a plan from week to week

Through caverns, museums, and founders' houses

Theme parks with wizards, rockets, and mouses

Or viewing vistas veiled in mystery

While learning more of our own history

With Danny and pair of canine friends

Exploring America from end to end

Standing in fields where armies fought

Following trails the Indians wrought

Camping at night on a sandy shore

As palm fronds sway outside screen door

Then parking by river or rocky stream

in thick forest, where black bears dream

Often rambling down some busy highway

Turning off again, on an interesting byway

I'm just as happy as a person can be

Riding in the cockpit of Serrano RV

HAPPY TAILS AND TRAILS TO YOU!
