Fire Engine.

Your blue flashing lights,
A wailing siren,
You race through the night,
With your fire men,
A red engined glory,
Fighting off the fire,
A fire engine story,
If I might enquire,
Racing through red lights,
To seek out the blaze,
On cold winter nights,
And warm summer days,
A fire engine beauty,
The bells ring a call,
So your off on your duty,
When I finally fall.

Ah!  This poem is good... very good... because of the last line!  It got my brain working over.... and me reading the poem several times.     This is tough to do, great job!

I liked this poem, the ending to it is really excelent.  i thought the flow at the begining could use a little work, but other than that this was great.  keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Great! This poem was astounding! I felt as though the deep meaning within such a plain topic such as the fire engine was great. I really enjoyed this.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
