Andy you got me on this one had me going thinking about the people I give lifts to thumbing. I used to thumb as a kid and in all the rides I go only had one incident where the guy wouldn\'t let me out where I asked and had to walk an extra mile. My wife gives lifts to anyone that asks and even to some that don\'t. Yea bad things happen but to shut off charity for risk is a bad thing. But the humor in the last line left me laughing and that deserves a fave my friend

It’s got that cheeky twist ending that completely reframes the ride you thought you were on. What starts as a wholesome roadside kindness drifts into campfire‑story territory, then flips into pitch‑black humour with the final punchline. The rhymes are simple and jaunty, which makes the sudden macabre reveal land even harder, a bit like a nursery rhyme walking into a crime novel. It’s playful, a little unsettling, and very self‑aware of the tropes it’s poking fun at. Almost like it’s winking from the rear‑view mirror as you realise you’ve been in on the joke the whole time. A pure joy! 🕊️🙏🏻

arqios said:
This poem unfolds like a love letter to music itself: sensual, devotional, and lifelong. It borrows the language of physical intimacy to describe an artistic and emotional connection, turning listening into a full‑body experience. The closing line, leaping from Bach to Pink Floyd, captures the joy of range; how the same soul can be fed by baroque precision one day and psychedelic expanse the next. It’s an ode to versatility, and to the idea that music isn’t just a pastime, but a constant, evolving love affair. It leaves the sense that this “hunger” isn’t meant to be satisfied once and for all but it’s meant to keep pulling you toward the next note, the next discovery.

\"Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is having you
And music, music, music\"
Instant recall, Andy - many thanks. As a bonus I enjoyed the sensuality.

Stepping Stones Tanka.
arqios said:
There’s a quiet resolve in this tanka, Andy; the kind that doesn’t shout, but steadies the breath and straightens the spine. Its rhythm feels like walking barefoot across a river: each stone a misstep transformed, each placement deliberate, carrying you forward. The gentle imperative to “put them down ahead of you” turns regret into architecture, mapping a path that wouldn’t exist without the weight you once bore. It’s soft wisdom, but with a backbone of granite.
