Poem of the Day:
First Bright Spot
Light vest flashing bright
Hat with a light
Reflective vest with phone
Flashlight on, I’m in the zone
I got all the lights so I glow
A 50 minute run in the dark, go!
Roads clear though snow is coming
No matter, my mind-body humming
I’m alert to cars as they pass
In and out of driveways fast
Gas stations, stop signs
Do they even see me shine?
A truck speeds out of the lot
doesn’t bother to spot
Me running on the side
He zooms out in his ride
I’m flashing light as I run
Can’t they see me I’m like the sun
Oh well must have somewhere to be
I keep my eyes alert on the road see
A snowplow rumbles past
Gives a beep beep blast
I give a wave fast
I’m noticed at last!
First Bright Spot
