My First Car

Folder: 
Wulfman Adventures

The car

That was bought cheap

and without fluids

Running on prayers

 

The car

I drove to work

Drove home, road trips

Neah Bay, Everrett

 

The car

Auntie calls a beast

With a busted muffler.  Roar.

Oil leaks and bad breaks.

 

The car

That ate paychecks for parts

More paychecks for more parts

I am getting the duct tape

 

The car

That moved me and Annabell out

That was our mobile palace

That we called home

 

The car

that stops and goes

Work to Neah Bay

Work to Salt Creek

 

The car

That became a smoke house

Full of memoirs and dreams

All gone in smoke signals

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My Dodge Aries K Car caught fire due to a oil leak.  Nothing too serious, just a lot of smoke.  Happened in 2007.  Inspired by Raymond Carver poem.

Liked your poem an interesting read and well written. Sounds as though you were very fond of your car before it sadly caught fire.  I hope you get another car, they are very handyFrown

Cars are handy

My mom and I were just talking about the cars we had.  My car was enjoyment.  I was very fond of my car.  Soon, I will have a car again.  Thank you.  :)
