Sharon Keely Poet Free verse

Uzb 752

So stately behind the wheel
That old Cortina could have been a Rolls
The engine chugged
To the beat of your heart
Slow and steady
Making the drive home last
Captain of your ship 
For five peaceful minutes

Caren Krutsinger August 28, 2020 at 1:09 PM I am racing to Google now to look up Cortina. How have I lived this many years without consciously hearing about them? Sharon Keely September 10, 2020 at 8:19 AM Not many sold in the U.S. Caren, but they were big in the U.K. and Ireland.

Franci Hoffman August 25, 2020 at 9:48 AM An enjoyable ride in a stately vehicle nicely described, Sharon! Sharon Keely September 10, 2020 at 8:18 AM Thanks Franci!

William Cason August 17, 2020 at 4:02 PM Interesting.. Sharon Keely September 10, 2020 at 8:18 AM Thanks William!

Gershon Wolf August 16, 2020 at 5:59 PM Thanks for the introduction to the Cortina. Looking at pictures of it online, it certainly had a stately, if slow, elegance to it. Happiness and health, Gershon Sharon Keely August 17, 2020 at 8:42 AM And all good wishes to you, Gershon. Those cars look better to me now, at a distance of several decades, than they did in their heyday.

Darlene De Beaulieu August 16, 2020 at 9:56 AM Hello Sharon Keely, this sounds to me like an antique car. A Rolls is antique. Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu August 17, 2020 at 10:34 AM Hello Sharon I have always liked antique cars dating back 1930's to the early 40's. I am always drawn to them. Thes are beautiful cars. I also like the two tones cars. Enjoy your day my friend. Sharon Keely August 16, 2020 at 11:17 AM Hi Darlene, I hope you have a lovely day too. The Cortina, an offering from Ford in the U.K. in the '60's and 70's, would certainly be an antique by now!
