Black Beauty

Accidental Poet



 

I wanted a bigger truck

To haul a heavy load

But a truck easy on the eyes

While driving down the road

 

And he’s a big ‘ole boy

Built of strong bones

A handsome truck

Of all the vehicles I’ve owned

 

Carrying weight in the bed

He smiles like its meant to be

Getting’ the job done

He’s happy as can be

 

With four-wheel drive

He’ll take me off-road

Be it gravel or dirt no matter

Over hills and through valleys we rode

 

Painted a metallic black

He wears his color proud

Not the “in your face” type

That stands out too loud

 

One day I decided

He must have a name

A name that fits him right

So Black Beauty he became

      What a lovely poem. I love the name you have chosen for your wheels. Long before I saw the film, I had read the book. The film was wonderful. Thank you for the chance to see a clip again and to bring out the twelve year old in me. So enjoyed my visit AP.

        Thanks Cassie. I've never read the book or seen the movie. But after seeing this video, Now I have to. Glad I could bring out the 12 year old in you. 🐎

        Really enjoyed this poem. And your pick up truck is very cool. πŸ™‚

        • Accidental Poet

          Thanks Tom, and the truck belongs to my dog, but he hasn't got his driver's license yet. So he lets me drive him around in it. πŸ˜πŸ‘

            Haha! I know the feeling. Our black Labrador fills the back seat of our car and complains if he has to share with anyone. πŸ™‚

                A fine write AP.
                That horse was hiding behind the tree. Like those competitions: 'Spot the missing horse/pony/spot the whatever!'

                  The horses were hiding from you Orchi. They were afraid you were going to start singing again. πŸ˜†

                    Now that you've christened her, it seems a shame to put her to work and ruin her image. But that's life, truck or not. A lovely ode to the beauty of a truck. - Phil A.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Christened HIM Phil. 😁 And that's what water & soap is for, to clean him up again. Thanks Phil. 😊

                        Absolutely love how you've captured the essence of your truck in this poem! The way you personify 'Black Beauty' really brings to life the bond between a driver and their trusted vehicle. It's not just a machine, but a reliable companion on every journey. Great work!

                        • Accidental Poet

                          Thank you so much novellaa. Yes, I've always had a connection with all my vehicles. have a great day. πŸ˜‰
