Bumpy Ride

This train ride

called life

is one bumpy adventure

often our plans get

derailed

we find ourselves

bumbling along

with no direction

that's quite the

bummer

does it mean we

failed

who's to say

sometimes the

bumpiness 

bumfuzzles 

us

as we find

our way

    Yes True, it can be lots of fun to see where it takes us. It is a privilege, in fact!

    I love "the bumpiness bumfuzzles us" as it couldn't describe the situation we're in any better.

    So many bumps on the road, Truedessa, a mirror of life. I enjoyed all the different forms of the prompt word.

    Bumpiness can remind us we are still alive.

    The rhythm of the rails...nothing more hypnotic. Well done.

    If it was all smooth sailing, would we know we were alive?

    Yes, life has a way of derailing us! Your poem reminded me of the golden book story of Little Toot that we used to read to our boys... about a little train who who thinks like would be better off the tracks...

    Hi Truedessa - so true ... sadly in this day and age the way of the world can rock our journey path rather rudely and unexpectedly ... which we find difficult to understand or control and develop our lives. I preferred earlier times! But I'll survive - take care - Hilary

    I love our being "bumfuzzled". A new word - and such a good one. It made me smile.

    Bumfuzzled is a good word for the way we feel these days. Smiles.

    I think the bumpy road might be preferable to smooth sailing.
