Kia Pet

Kia pet has painted skin
shiny as a pearl.
And I give her this name too.
She is “Silver Girl.”

She is not the prettiest
or the fastest pet.
But at least with my sweet girl,
I don’t have to fret. . . 

Up to now a trusty friend
although I’ve been told
that she might become a mess
once she gets too old.

So I try to treat her well.
Kia looks good clean,
and I wash the dirt off her
to enjoy her sheen.

And I’ve put cute covers where
her front riders sit.
Each one has pink butterflies
decorating it!

I‘d sure love to dress her up;
make her stand out more,
but I‘m still five years in debt
thanks to that “pet” store!

*Kia Pet is now about half a year old
and gets much better gas mileage than
my old but wonderful Mustang!

I had a Kia Pet once. Things didn't work out at all. The thing is still sitting in a box in the basement. I like your 7/5 Trochee and plan to write something using it. Love, daver

Cute poem Andrea BUT my family was under orders to never buy me a kia pet or fear being disowned by their grandmother. One of the big stores was selling president kia pets. Our best loved presidents with grass growing out of their hollow heads. Ugh. Love, Joyce

Nice writing. Are you sure this style has not been previously invented? Either way, your presentation is impressive.
