BUG



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.

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.

This is cute.  Of course, you misspelled Volkswagen, which threw me for a minute.  This is a very sly poem.

Jonathan~
As 'cute' as this entire piece was ...

'Oh, I miss her sometimes,
   When she beep-beeps through my heart.'


... this just stood out to me~
LOVED that thought~
