Adventures in Driving!

The other night I saw a ghost on the road to dropping off R. Lerma at his place in Sapulpa. I definitely did not want to see said ghost a second time and risk having it recognize me from our previous encounter; I haven't heard of someone seeing the same ghost twice, so I doubt it's something survivable enough to recount. Therefore, I opted to take the highway home instead of the lowly, scenic slow way I usually go about. But I still did my darndest to take in the sights:

Firstly, a "haiku"!
In life I feel
That every sign to go
Is really a sign to yield.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Secondly, a heart to heart with a stop light.
"The old red light treatment, eh? Well, I'm no greenhorn when it comes to the waiting game so I'll sit here until you prove that you're no yellowbelly by showing me your true colors!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lastly, a realization!
I realized this is NOT a sign about a doctor who lives by the river. He/she just works there. Probably in order to poison the water supply and then make a sneaky profit by selling and administering the antidote later to those who were poisoned. What a clever river doctor!

ADVENTURE OVER!

Can you see?

A long overdue
Attempt at contemporary
English-language Haiku!

Coveted by dead ones,

A lonely red leaf falls

Near the end of autumn.

Yellow sunsets are shroud,

Over the horizon,

Under gray clouds.

Serpents hide in soft sand,

Exposed by their currents

Engraved on the land.
