Train Hopping Hobos

Train hopping hobos

maybe los lobos

maybe eat ho hos

do they still exist

can I resist

going there

anywhere

anytime

anyplace

just away

far away

come what may

seek adventure

not indenture

is that a word

how absurd

meaning don't wanna be a slave be free

to be just plain old I mean young I mean ageless me

read more of my poetry

come see

what I mean

or try to say

today

so much to choose from

guarantee none is hum drum

put me to the test

give me your best

comment/critique

realize I am unique

I am hungry for insight

if you get what I say please write

thanks for your time

hope you appreciate my rhyme

I've gong read your poem! "Maybe eat ho-hos" is my favorite line. I've read about a handful of poems so far but seems like you write very quickly and concisely. Seems like you just let the poem run from beginning to end instead of trying to fine tune every single word along the way (which I think is good, it's the best way to write). Nice! Anyway, is that how you did it? Just let it rip from beginning to finish?
