Your imagination ran wild on your walk when you saw this abandoned car. Bodies lurking! I always watch my neighbour just in case he is burying a body in the garden at night! He he he, I enjoyed your poem wondering about this car, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I like that this somewhat spooky but philosophical poem delves into the thoughts of the car owner and the walker. It is an odd place for a car to park.
Congrats on your second place finish in the contest.
Keep writing

Until I read this I'd forgotten how much I like the rictameter form. Your poem is very poetical. I mean you write the way creative people think. Anything spurs our imagination.

Congratulations on your second place win.

Blessings Julia

What an imagination. Glad the wind brought you out of it before you pictured how the deceased came to be. Your poem is very well-written, interesting, very creative. Good luck with your contest.

Thanks for sharing this creative writing about seeing the abandoned car on the side of the road. You meant to say "The" wind. I guess you didn't want to walk up closer to see if there were any dead bodies.

    I did indeed. Thanks for the catch.

This is unique, and it says so much about our society. If I were to see such a car, I would think of dead bodies. The most telling part of your poem is that the narrator keeps walking. Many people would. That's a sad commentary. Most of the take a walk poems have been about beautiful vistas. Yours is creative and profound. Well done.

You've written an excellent, thoughtful Rictameter poem
with exact syllables and solid imagery.
The photograph meshes well with the poem.
The imagination can create unusual thoughts.
I think He should be The in line six.
Nicely done

    It should be 'the' and I have corrected the issue. Thanks for the help.

I liked this poem although it seems more like a story in poetic form. It is a respectable contest entry. Although it tells a simple tail, it held my interest. Thanks for sharing.

What a great picture! {Thumbs up} It's little surprise that it's prompted you to write this post.

Are there lost lonely souls searching? -- I love the alliteration of this line {smiles}.

He wind blows hard and chills my bones. -- Spag? Did you mis-type "He wind blows" meaning to type "The wind blows"?

I would say that you do like the darker side. The poem is very good
but bleak. I like that you started with walking and ended with the word
walking.
