So far, this is my favorite of your poems. No disrespect intended to the others, but the symbolism of this piece, the idea behind this poem is quite inspired.

Great poem. You're absolutely right. It's all about the ride. Lets face it, the destination is inevitable and not really worth worrying about. This poem reminds me of Luna park and my first ride on the Big Dipper - the excitement was almost unbearable, but the ride was soooooooooo worth it. Great poem. You make your point without over-egging the pudding. love, Allie xxxx
