Flash Fiction 55: 12/9/11 New Directives

"Going Comic 
with a lighter touch"

Demands I turn from lessons
sketched carefully in pencil
on my drawing board.

After two days
of zooming toward
a horizontal vanishing point, 

"Divert! Abort!"
skid, slide, reverse
along a fast curve-

*Whew* everything rounds out
Cheek, nose, hair
eyes and mouth;
   
relax into smiles
of an adrenalin surge!

I'm not quite sure I'm following here Izzy..
Sorry!
Are you drawing something?
Driving somewhere?
But I'm sure the poets can follow this.
Thanks for playing though
Have a Kick Ass Week-End

Nothing like a sudden change of plans to throw you off your game - but at least you came out smiling! :)

Life's all about enjoying the ride.

Crazy great poem, and a bit of a puzzler. My mind sees the life force of a particular drawing as it helps the artist to create it.
