My husband and I drive our own semi all over the country. As such, we are part of one of the largest groups of free-thinkers, individualists, and just down right stubborn people in America. We have two sons, 29 and 20, and a grandson just turned 20 months. I'm writing a preteen novel and a series of poems for my grandson. Parts of these are posted here. I welcome all criticisms!

I just wrote this poem for a contest on trucking poetry. I'll post it here by hand, since I don't know how to transfer it from Word yet. It's about team drivers who just happen to be married - gee,could that be us?
Here it is:
This Must Be Love
As the rig pulls in, she is already gathering the shower bags.
He finishes his log page and the coffee she made for him miles ago.
She makes the bed, a habit she just can't quit.
He asks her if the TripPaks are done and she says of course I have them right here.
She tells him not to forget his reading glasses this time.
He asks her to hand him his book and she passes it to him without a word, not even losing his place.
She bundles up the trash bag so the dog won't make a glorious mess.
Speaking of whom, the dog is leashed and led to the small grassy spot,
And encouraged to make a mess of another kind.
She puts the dog up, and gets the bags down.
He shoulders his bag, and as they walk toward the truck stop,
They reach for each other's calloused hand.
