Slow till the quiet road
Then manual shift
Love of my life old car
Moves into the wind
Roaring in the opposite direction
Forward in time
Unfettered
Thrumming the engine
Like an Abba song

"SPEED" is a wonderful piece of poetry that captures the essence of the love of driving and the thrill of being behind the wheel of a powerful car.
Fun isn't it! As long as we don't get a ticket...........
Good write Lorna. Where ya going? Or where were ya going?
Just the market ....but I was speeding off to a horseshow to find Jay like I've done a thousand times before! I'm never 100% rooted in reality but that should be obvious by now..........
It surprisingly hit me w authentic truth. Surprisingly , because ABBA would’ve the soundtrack played by my enemies tp punish me. I run from their music yet I felt the importance of their inclusion in your piece. Gravitas shared
I'm laughing........ they make me dance..... or drive too fast............
driving, one of my passions in life
nothing like jumping straight to 2nd
then from 2nd to 4th gear
without missing a bit or having your rev, stutter or strain
flowing free, as if metal were wings
and tarmac our freedom clouds..
fly safe did kindred poet
thank you!
That's it!
Thrum along in your life Lorna, thrum along.
