Poets' Practice Pad

Amber light warns of danger
As the ribbon stretches endlessly on
So safe and sure they move forward
Plodding and taking the same old road
Never veering, only steering
Travelling the straight and narrow coarse
Following the path paved by others
Never seeking an off road dance
How I long to speed, fast and carefree
Past all these plebian toads
Swerving and darting through the throngs
Excitement from the thrumming of life
Heard inside my head and heart
Taking risks and making chances
To find a new road, a hidden road
I want to travel that secret tract
Where only the brave may wander
Explore the world in wild abandon
Breaking through the status quo
Until all my energy has been spent
And I yeild to those who come next
