Richard Lamoureux Poet Acrostic

Rusted and Busted Contest

Sinful Rusted Red Firebird

Sometimes I think back to those years
I wish I had been just a bit older
Nobody notices a fourteen year old boy
Funny though, I noticed everything
Under her paisley top she didn't wear a bra
Long blond hair flowing out the car window

Robert took her for a drive in his 68 Firebird 
Undressed her right there in the back of the car
Silly giggling sounds from behind fogged windows
The thought of the two of them was exciting
Everything seemed much more vivid back then
Don't know if anything has ever felt so intense again

Robert was the cool one back in those days
Easy good looks and of course that car
Dangerous he was, in a James Dean sorta way

Firebirds still evoke sexy images for me
I bought this rusted piece of junk just to restore it
Rusted sure, but when I'm done  it will be cherry red
Eleven years I've owned this busted old car
But it seems like it will never really be mine
I sit in it sometimes and imagine I'm with her
Running my hands through her gorgeous blonde hair
Don't judge me, I know it's just a silly boyhood fantasy.


Sorry Casarah, I can't bold on my IPad.

Carrie Richards June 27, 2016 at 2:19 PM What a fun, nostalgic story you have woven, from the memories that linger of those teen years. Well done, Richard!! I loved this view, the thoughts from a !4 year old boy who never grew up :)

Andrea Dietrich June 19, 2016 at 5:48 PM Amazing poetry based on the ruined auto, Richard. I better hurry and post mine up soon. it's a great contest and I have no idea how she will narrow down her winners. Richard Lamoureux June 29, 2016 at 3:57 AM Thanks Andrea. ;0)

Scott Thirtyseven June 16, 2016 at 9:04 AM 1st line of your 3 line stanza- could it end with "...back in those days", or some such? I feel as though you are repeating words currently, and that distracts for me, from the fineness of this write. Love the feel, and enjoy the tale. Richard Lamoureux June 16, 2016 at 9:56 AM Great suggestion, I made the change. Thanks Scott.

Connie Marcum Wong June 16, 2016 at 6:27 AM When you get her restored she may let you know her secrets Richard.; ) I enjoyed this nostalgic little piece.

Demetrios Trifiatis June 13, 2016 at 7:43 AM You are... forgiven, Richard! You have the right to fantasize, my friend, Haha! Excellent writing you brought back memories! Thank you! Richard Lamoureux June 13, 2016 at 7:55 AM I grew up more in the seventies but as an 7 year old in 1968 I was becoming aware of women and cars. For the contest though I thought a 14 year old was more fitting.

Becca Teagan June 13, 2016 at 3:59 AM I think you did a great job on this for the contest, Rick! Very creative! Richard Lamoureux June 13, 2016 at 7:01 AM Thanks Becca, there's just something about old cars.

Mama Bear June 12, 2016 at 8:44 PM What guys won't do for a girl even if she is just a memory. Hope you do well in the contest. Love Mom Richard Lamoureux June 12, 2016 at 11:09 PM Thanks for being the first to comment mom, love ya.
