Born To Be Driven

Accidental Poet

 

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 sitting 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 all the respect it’s given

  • Comment from author about the poem: This car was kept in a one car showroom of a Chrysler Plymouth dealership in the town next to the town I grew up in and has been my dream car since the day I first laid eyes on it. I never owned the car, but always wanted it. I can still see it in my mind like it was yesterday.

    Wow your passion for that car shines through ... cool poem

    • Accidental Poet

      Thanks wlschuett. And ironically, a few years later I would be working with the original owner of the car.

      Hope you end up with one someday AP!

      • Accidental Poet

        I'd have to hit the lottery jackpot to be able to buy one these days.

      • Louis Gibbs

        A classic for sure, the Cuda! Brings huge bucks on the auction block today. Good write, AP!

        Wow, that shake fuel the blood with excitement. "built for speed" indeed.
        This car is definitely your lover.

          Ya know, I once wrote a poem as the voice of the car. But I think it was one of bunch that got deleted by mistake.

          I love your poem but will have to check in the car. I only drive because I need but like better the passenger sit so I can enjoy the scenario. This car seems to have stolen your heart.

          • Accidental Poet

            Yes, I suppose you could say that. Thanks for reading and commenting malu. ; )

            Very good write, our dreams come in many forms. You might not have owned the car but nobody can take away the image you have in your mind.

            • Accidental Poet

              THAT my friend will live forever in my mind. Thanks Goldfinch. ; )
