Sheila

her beauty defines all other

Her lines were so smooth

She hummed in my ear, a tender song

When I was not with her, my heart would throb

Every chance I got I would stare at her

and love her till my heart could give no more

I swooned her with love calling her baby, darling, and sweetheart

Her sweet touch made my fingers tremble

Her name was Sheila

My cherry red Ferrari

Author's Note

I had lots of fun writing this while our class was reading 'Romeo and Juliet'. While I was creating it my friends were gawking at cars, so I took a new twist on the subject of romance.

The name "Sheila" (to me) is associated with Australia. I would've preferred an Italian name for such an iconic Italian chariot. Other than that, great poem, smooth lines (not just the car, but your poem!) Entertaining bit of imagination, thanks for sharing!

This is awesome, very clever! I like the twist at the end, it made me laugh. :)

I knew a Shiela once but its not the same one - mines was a little red Corvette lol
This lead me a merry dance and then forced a guffaw from my toast slot
thank you for that
