Route 9 to Harper’s Ferry

[QDeathstar]

Hey Q D-

Like you say, it can be a harrowing experience driving around that area toward twilight and at night.

To me, those minor, menacing touches add very much to the magic of the place.

And that is precisely why the 4th stanza must stay, my friend.

Thanks for reading and commenting,
... Mark

mmm, I go to Harpers Ferry two to three times a summer, went just last weekend. stayed in Antietam... nice place.


as far as this peice, I would consider an edit to stanza 4, as it is a bit too dark for the rest of the light poem.

I personally find driving around harpers ferry at night to be a harrowing experience. It's pitch black with narrow roads and no gaurd rails.

I hear you, I guess that line kind of reminded of the dangerous roads... So it works.
