Shantelle

A brand new car is what I love, Love the body, the new car smell, So to local luxury garage I drove, that’s where I met lovely Shantelle! Bright blue was the colour in mind, A four wheel drive good for snow, For my golf kit, lot of space behind, A shapely front, as men will know! I was shown to a desk at the rear, Sitting in her chair was Shantelle, Divine looks, heart stopping stare, Like a Sharon Stone, behind a Dell! What transpired? I can’t remember! Who spoke and if anything was said? My mind stoned my legs were timber, Was I dreaming? Was I still in bed? Later in the open, to show me the car, She walked like she was on catwalk, Blue skin tights kept my mouth ajar, Her pretty smile was her sales talk! The blue she wore, was blue I love, every breath I took was her perfume, She was so close, when I test drove, my eyes on her, eyes focus and zoom! The deal was done, the car was sold, Shantelle I loved, not the four by four! Ignored the price, paid what I was told, Borrowed from a bank, to settle score! Stone by stone every necklace grows, Drop by drop, love and ocean soar, Shantelle I wed, with marriage vows, Now we are four, in our four by four! N/A 27/02/2020 Dated 18/02/2020 Premier poetry contest Shantelle Sponsor Julia Ward Entered for John Hamilton N-A contest 12/Jan/2021

Shantelle. Beautifully written. Good brush strokes with words. You succeeded to capture as well as preserve the moment. It needed to be preserved.

This is an excellent post and poem, my brother of God's grace, Shantelle. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. The descriptive excellence is lovely. The theme great and the tenor move the piece along with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, don't forget to pray, stay encouraged, inspired, ingenious, and God's richest grace and blessings to you and your loved ones always! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53812816-sincerely-speaking-spiritually.

Loved your poem from beginning to end. Much fun...made me laugh. Krish, as long as you loved it. You have to be the one who makes it a winner.I do not enter contests. One person as a judge is far too subjective! You don't know them personally nor their training nor background. Dude, this is a jewel to PANGIE. I give it an Oscar. Pangiexx

Loved the poem, Krish. The story so beautifully told unfolding like a short movie with all its hues. Nice ending, too - kept waiting for it. Personally, I feel it deserved a placing very high on the list; but never mind - take cheer and satisfaction in delivering a beautiful baby (pun intended)!

Krish, A superb bargain you've recounted in this supercharged poem. Just one thing I wondered at, did you get the free rust-proofing for the undercarriage? -Richard
