The red Volkswagen. That's what I remember about her most. Oh, you may say that there's nothing like A riverside apartment, A cozy little love shack, But it's the Volkswagen I remember most. The way the engine hummed, The way it rumbled along, The bad gas mileage, I don't know why. Oh, I miss her sometimes, When she beep-beeps through my heart. I believe the most important component of a poem is rhythm. Rhythm is the heartbeat of a poem. It is what makes poetry poetry. [This message has been edited by forne_marin (05-14-2004 06:20 PM).] |

Loved the Bug! I had a bug in early years and my first love and I had wonderful times sharing the ride in it. This speaks to me. |

My brother had a Volkswagen that he loved dearly... this brought back a smile. |

This is cute. Of course, you misspelled Volkswagen, which threw me for a minute. This is a very sly poem. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
