Wait Your Turn!
Haiku of Now Challenge
Roundabout. All clear ✅
Lunatic cuts across bows 😵💫
Brakes squeal. Cars careen. 🚘🚙. 🚓
*
Just another, typical trip across ‘town’! Far too many near misses… thankfully, no collisions yet.
Roundabouts either feel like poetry in motion or writers’ block! Rarely anything in between!

"So Charming" is another Haiku for the challenge below:

Hehe love this! We have so many large roundabouts near my house and it's a very busy raod, I've had lots of near misses!
Great Haiku, Andrea. Good luck with the challenge. A good choice for Haiku of now.
Ugh - brilliant work, all too relatable!! People in the U.S. have really got to figure out how to use roundabouts correctly...
I hate roundabouts! They are beginning to put them everywhere in the US. And none of them are trained on how to enter or which lane to be in. Good job!! I guess they think it slows down traffic but keeps it flowing? I like to stop signs and yield signs.
There are so many reckless drivers like that. Ugh!
This road rage individuals
I see that happen so many times
