Pile Up On The M88?

Urban sprawl;
a cacophony
of traffic
overloads
sanity, stuns commuters
into submission.

Magpie 88 lead me to dream up this Shadorma pile up!

    Oh, for a peaceful quiet road,
    Where no lorries carry a load,
    Where Nature sets the pace,
    And on this I rest my case.

    You've grasped how it feels, and clever use of image.

    You photo mash-up pulled from the photo just what you were looking for. My only advice: things are easier in the passenger seat as described in my Magpie Tales this week is In Vince’s Car.

    When you see a driver's mouth moving behind the windscreen, it's not always singing along to the radio. Sometimes they are words of submission.

    Cool color work- 'overloads' is putting it mildly!
    thanks.

    So, so true! Cor - that really does look like a good old pile up there in your image!

    I wish "submission" in traffic was so fun to look at! :)

    Wow! What a trip! Love the "contemporisation" of the photo and your poem's comment on our modern urban life.

    I'm laughing at Martin's dry comment. Just what I was thinking but in less creative terms...I was going to say that I don't think commuters are always submissive. Good shadorma, and clever twist of the photo to match your pile up!
