| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 11/03/08 at 12:50 AM The metaphors, the shape of the poem, the description, all come together to make a memorable statement concerning cars and youth. |

with syncronized heart beat." Thinking back I remember times like that as a young driver...Charmin |
| Posted by Sarah Graves on 11/04/08 at 04:54 AM I like how the concept of youth is seen as accelerating but also as being exhausted. Youth can be seen as going by quickly but aging can too. Interesting extended metaphor that I think can be seen both ways. |
| Posted by Adrian Calhoun on 11/04/08 at 05:32 AM WOW Chris. This is a great piece you have written. It has a symphonic rythym that grabs you from the start and keeps repeating itself long after the piece is over. I also love the topic. I am still that somewhat wild-eyed youth who still loves old cars. Did I say wow. Favorited. |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 11/04/08 at 06:54 AM Not some distant thing, but your own life as it echoes everso coherantly in your heart. What you do is so well is to communicate (share) that with us, in just the right words/images/sounds. Nice, nice job friend Chris. Thanks. |

| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 11/06/08 at 12:20 PM nice work, chris... it paints a picture, poetically and metaphorically - great work and a nice achievement to be no 1! |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 11/06/08 at 06:11 PM This is perfect in form and execution. Life like, real and I love the metaphor. smh |
