Do you mind if I proclaim myself the Official Ville Poet/Author?

This would be a narrative poem.

"Night Flight"


I slide the car
into first
The driveway slips away

2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Less than 5 seconds
I'm on the run

Running from the lights
that follow me
around corners

Night air wets my eyes
makes me blink
away my tears

I swerve around the curves
dropping gears
3rd on the floor

Slam it back
up to 5th
on the go again

The black foliage
flys past
as I speed across the night

I look at the gauge
135 not enough
I push harder

140
150
160

hurts to hold on
keeping control
ground flight takes me

The lights ahead
twist in my mind
approaching fast as I fly

Right Lane, Wrong lane
I don't know
If its him or me

I don't slow down
Admitting I'm less
unacceptable

He comes closer
Lights get brighter
Glaring my mind

Never slam the brakes
Brakes are weak
I go faster

160
170
zero

I float above
and gaze below
Lit from the east

Body bestilled
Auto heap
smoldering

The sirens follow the sun
Cleaning the scene
Night Flight Complete

there ya have it.

Hey man, who are you kidding, that rusted-out pile of rubbish you drive couldn't even top 70!

Sort of a downer poem this time, but hey, aren't all poets depressed? hehehe

Okay, I tried to post this last night, but the time limit prohibitted me from doing so.

This is from a PM that Greebo replied to

I asked him if he minded if I proclaimed myself the official ville poet/author. This is the reply I got. I made sure I asked the proper authorities before doing something like this.

Even before I asked Greebo, I asked Rob about a week ago, and he told me to ask Greebo, which I did.

Mul is right on the money. I don't want to write songs, and Greeb doesn't want to write poetry or short stories.

That said, I think i am gonna have to kill the poll, because I don't think it is an accurate depiction of what I wanted to find out.
