my first car, a Beetle, yes a Beetle

blue, shining and proud, smiling out loud

all iron for strength, in all the length

leather for comfort, letting go of all discomfort

i saved each cent, lots of bent

just a dream in the beginning, my head was spinning 

as the money pile grew, everything blue

I saw the possibility, only stability

the freedom of going, and glowing

my own wheels, no more in my heels

i miss you, my little bug, only a hug

W3 -I. O’Nika’s prompt: Echo verse

This week, let’s play with rhyme and repetition by writing an echo poem about firsts.

awake now

because dreams kept me dreaming

chaos

delivering me news

eloquent space in between

fake or real

grateful for visiting the past

hating me for letting it go

invitation for forgiveness

juggling here and now

keep me sane or crossing the line

lying down and resting

mental breakdown

never too late to try again

otherwise

pondering will take me nowhere

questions will be unanswered

running in my mind

solitute is what I need

time comes and goes

universe doesn’t stop

validating what is impossible

without any doubt

X-ray of the soul

yielding resistance

zeroing the limits
