Analysis of Born To Be Driven



Curvaceous and sexy
Muscular, yet slender
And the mighty power
That lurks between the fenders

Mirror-like finish
Of hypnotic black
No apologies for
The innocence it lacks

Wheels and tires
Rolling or siting still
Mesmerizing the eyes
With awe they instill

Through the hood
Rests the hood scoop Shaker
With the turn of a key
A rumbling Earth Quaker

Sit behind the steering wheel
Hold the Pistol Grip Shifter
Drop the clutch
Now you’re haulin’ the mail Mister

Shift from first to second gear
As you’re pushed into your seat
Feel that Hemi pull
Hurling you down the street

Built for speed
Born to be driven
The life of a Plymouth Hemicuda
Deserves the respect it’s given

DanceOfThePoet'sPen

Guess you could say I'm a self taught poet. I started writing poetry as a means of dealing with the emotions of finding my Birthmother's obituary and grave site after searching for 10 years. I continued writing and over the course of the last 20 years I've become comfortable in how I write. You'll notice I tend to write a lot about nostalgia and old memories. Hey, when you round the corner of 60 years, you start thinking a lot about the past and where you've been. One of my subjects I write about is love, but I try to write of other things too. I've lived on the south shore of Massachusetts for all of my 64 years. But I love all of New England. Aside from writing poetry, I also love photography and have quite a collection of old antique cameras. Baseball, football, muscle cars and car shows are also some of my interests. Not too crazy about Winter. Spring & Summer are my favorite seasons. more…
