He’s an ugly monster,
Or maybe it’s a she.
In this darkness,
Really hard to see.
Its life came from the rain,
Freezing temperatures.
Cannot predict its birth.
Not really sure when.
So, if I had eyes,
In the back of my head.
I’d gone a different way,
Away from here instead.
But, it is too late.
I’ve traveled way too far.
A big honking pothole,
Just devoured my car.
But, hold on, wait a minute,
It could have been worse,
I landed on another car,
Guy inside gave me a boost.
I promised to call the tow truck,
So he could be towed out,
Next time be more aware,
And, take a different route.
Because you’ll not know when,
You’ll fall in its grip,
Just a freak of the season,
Keep your eyes out for it.

Wonderful poem but thats terrible! Did you go into that monster pothole? I guess all of us that get snow just have to watch out for them. Very very nice write! And great picture to match!
Thanks so much. Keeping my fingers crossed and my eyes peeled. Bad one a couple of years ago, but made it through. Yes, I thought the pix was appropriate! Thanks again!
They are a scourge - there's a big one on a single track road out of my village love the poem and the photo.
Thanks! Beware of that thing! Scourge is the best description! Thanks so much for the comment!
Your poem is full of holes, but I like it, very nice work
the picture is a little fishy though. and as always fun!
Yes, like Swiss Cheese! And, if you catch a fish, you would have yourself a nice sandwich! Thanks WW!
Great write., hate potholes
Me too! That is one thing about this time of year in my neck of the woods. Thanks Tony!
Welcome
Very good WBL
They are a sore
Point in my city
Also...where the
Local councellors
Live the roads are
Perfect, everywhere
Else pot holes...
Sounds like my neck of the woods! Ha Ha! Thanks.
Great poem WBL, loved it!
Thanks so much Daniel! May be all be protected from the pothole pest!
Potholes are always a nuisance. Sinkholes are worse. Your poem is an amusing read about a serious subject, especially when living in Florida. ~ Sonia
Yes. I make fun of the issue. But, I agree. Sinkholes and potholes are horrendous. When I hit one with my car a year ago, I was sick to my stomach. I was in traffic and going about 50 m.p.h. I can only imagine what would have happened had my car's front end fell apart. Thanks for the comment...:)
