Spotted this blue truck
on my walk today
blue truck blue truck
stopped me in my tracks
Such a truck!
There's a whole story
right there
in that blue truck
you hear it?
you feel it?
Man!
Such a truck!
This is why writers don't run out of
ideas
because you can be just walking along
and
come upon
such a thing
as
this
blue
truck
and your mind starts whirring
and you want to know
where it's been
and who drives it
and where it's going
you want to lean on its shiny fender
and listen
you want to hug
a
truck
you want to thank
that truck
for being
along your path
Oh, man!

In France , we have a quote that says "ĂȘtre beau comme un camion" (= to be as beautiful as a truck), which means to be REALLY beautiful! :o) like this one...
ReplyDeleteReally?! How great is that!? xx
DeleteLove this Sharon! Sometimes I think I am crazy because I see "random" things and think those same things and more! And of course I make the mistake of asking my teenagers the questions flying around in my head...what do you think the person looked like who bought that trick off the lot? Do you think he drove his daughters to school in it? What do you think he hauled in the back? Etc.
ReplyDeletethanks Sharon! I think maybe I am not crazy...or maybe we both are!
Happy to be crazy w/you.
DeleteSharon...maybe you need to get a real pick-up truck! I can just see you driving it now. I've had two...a Slant 6 Dodge Miser 1/2 Ton and a 3/4 ton Chevy. Drove them for years and years. It's great to be up off the ground.
ReplyDeleteFunny - we've been talking about getting a truck . . .
DeleteSuch inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWe're now hugging trucks? That's what love is, I guess.
ReplyDeleteWow! 42-6. I HOPE you are in a money pool and not a fraidy cat like me. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteOk, so using your point system, I'm at 40.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm ahead by two, mm? :))
DeleteAh, so fascinating, how the writer's mind works...
ReplyDeleteI love finding your poems in my email, this is my favourite! It is a beautiful truck for sure : )
