afternoon traffic-
a V of geese waits
for no one
backseat tales of
playground adventures-I turn
the radio off
a whispered prayer
resonates above the horn-
braking just in time

About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.

I especially like "backseat tales."
ReplyDeletethere is something about a V of geese, like that of the sound of a train's whistle in the distant darkness, that adds such depth to one's written words..
