Tim Smith Poet Imagism

D Town

Angst 
Lies flat 
In the back 
Of a 57 Chevy 
Locked down fast 
Left and turn to rust 
Red rouge flakes of past 
Pasted in a D town cemetery 
Where the rubber burning black 
Filter smoke filled dreams held back

Freddie Robinson Jr. March 20, 2017 at 8:43 AM Very cool poem, Tim. I'm hoping the D-town reference is my hometown Detroit. Such a creative write w/streamlined thought injections. Very cool poem indeed. A revved up 7. Love and best wishes.
