Silver Bullet (Uma)

Lorna

My car is not just a car

It is a Japanese pony

And together we race the wind

Hardly mindful of legalities

At least, in our imaginations

 

If we were caught and put in jail

I think I would do well

Sitting by a window thinking of things

But my silver pony would forget

Its metal framework

And think instead of its

Bold heart, now chained.

    Well written and expressed

    A poem about a car just squeezed my heart and made me smile. That's a talented pen! And now I'm concerned that I've insulted the silver pony by reducing it to "car"...

      Thank you Heather. Well he's on my mind a lot these days - he has been a friend and never left me sitting on a highway in the dark. But he's getting old - like everyone else in my life! Yes and I'm weird that way - I have a lot of inanimate friends........ as well as free-living wildlife in my garden that seem to like me too............. Enjoy your day!
