Highway Haiku

Steve has been writing some Haiku lately and it inspired me. Last Friday on my drive home through rush hour traffic that drove me from my usual mildly irritated state into near insanity as I averaged 5.7 mph for 13 miles.

I found though a place of placidity as I pondered possible points of light to guide my way home. I thus offer you my attempts at "Highway Haiku":


Weed grows on median
Choked by diesel fumes it asks
Is this all to life?
Yellow butterflies
flirting on freeway off ramp
Fly DHL trucks!
Lady in red car
what! changes top in traffic
shameless I tell you
