I
Walking dizzily in a bewildered path,
footprints are inattentive shadows that overlap.
My treasure is but a backpack of sentiments,
moving on to start this new found excitement.
II
Assorted colorful candies are the cars,
that zoomed playfully like cheetahs from afar.
My sore thumb aches and horribly moans,
pleading to snare a cat to mount upon.
III
Dusk peers down from a starless roof,
that mirrored the ocean, keeping aloof.
Hitchhiking is an ordeal that one consumes,
making my heart skip beats, trembling in gloom.
IV
I have been walking a thousand miles today,
I can walk some more, but this sorrow betrays.
At last two headlights slowly crawled within,
a friendly face rolled down his window and let me in.

Poetry: Hitchhiking
The young woman ignored
The no hitchhiking warning.
She had already been through a lot,
And she was in mourning.
The night
by Jon Coe
Far from home, not far from where I want to be
the sun is setting, I'm getting tired of the scenery
I just want to be picked
by T.C Leonard
"Working Class Pedestrian"
For now, I'm a pedestrian
And dependent where I roam...
Oh, not to have a workplace
That's five miles
Standing by the roadside, noon sun hot and high.
Backpack at your feet as the cars stream by.
Sending puffs of dust up, choking
"Count Your Blessings, And Your Arms"
People complain to me it's hard to get
A ride when dirty or unfed
But it's so much harder
