Sunny Side Of the Street


She wants to help
Every day
Sending ray upon ray
Of her
A sunny disposition

And now a scientific
Proposition

Take her positive energy
And make a road
That
Powers the car
(if it's electric)
The nation
And makes refuse
Use-
Ful

Can it be reality?
Maybe
It's up to you and me
(watch the movie...)


This is so unbelievably cool!  They have a prototype, they have an FB page too.  Are there issues? Sure. But just the concept, the idea that this could be, is pretty doggone thrilling!!  I love the wonder of it.  Deep breath, feel the wonder?!  Yes, I knew you would :-)

So Thank you to Poetry Jam for the inspiration--write a poem that is for didactic (interesting teaching) purpose.  poetryjaam.blogspot.com  Also for open link night at dversepoets.com

  1. WOW... wouldn't this be fabulous if they could make it happen! Incredible.
    I love new technology, new inventions and this would be such a great one if they could find a money backer or several to help them get it going.
    Thanks for sharing Sara and, thanks for such a lovely comment too )

  5. Let's just hope that the sun keeps on shining. Would not be nice to run out of rays miles away from everywhere:-)
    Can't see it working in our rainy country but a great solution for desert countries, where they have plenty of oil. Oh well, fingers crossed

    1. Hi Aprille! That's a good point--it rains a lot here too, but also very sunny. I just love out of the ordinary thinking (especially if it's useful)
      What an irony to work where there's lots of oil, hmm?

      Thank you for the visit! :-)

  6. Hi Sara, Actually I think at this time the car companies would embrace the idea and jump on board, competing to be the one to first utilize the technology. Interesting post, Sara.

    1. I agree, especially since they're already embracing the electric car concept. The oil companies... well that's another story altogether. Thank you for the thoughtful comments :-)

  8. In a land as close as tomorrow,
    and yet that far away;
    We watch and wish and wonder
    if ever will come the day.

    We can hope our future is this bright.

    1. Hi Donald! Nice to see you again--okay you have stumped me. That sounds so familiar, but when I tried to Google it, couldn't find it. A perfect poem, love getting poems in response to my poems :-) Thank you!

    2. I am so glad Google came up empty,
      I thought it up on the fly.
      If you got a hit on Google,
      it would have made me cry!

      OH STOP Donald! Very nice to make your acquaintance here in cyber-space.

  19. Very very cool, Sara. If only all of these alternative solutions could be implemented quickly, legislated and endorsed by governments...........it is all possible - the Old Order seems unable to let go of its death-grip on the planet for profits - but profits could come in other more environmentally viable ways.........

  20. Sara, at last I am freed (for now) from the terrible BSOD and my computer, Sadie, is here. Love this idea, and yes, I do believe you should be in charge of all things innovative. Loved the video and hope someday to own a car that runs on french fry grease or garbage! Love, Amy

    1. Amy!! so happy to have you back :-) Hey Sadie, quite scaring us like that (ha!) Not quite ready to take the mantle of all things innovative, though I have been loving what's been in the news lately! You just never know what will come up next--our minds can be wonderful, when we let imagination and wonder combine.

  21. The concept is so cool ... wish it could be real :-)

  23. Wow, what a wonderful scheme. And what a fun poem, so playful and positive - and also, what fun to be instructed to write a didactic poem, instead of the usual advice to steer cear of such. :)
