a first Car -- fictional poem of a car that I like

[click on photos to enlarge]

My New Car 

Twas my very first 

To me it was slick 

and very pretty 

No glue on this beast 

Zero to sixty 

in four seconds flat 

Turtles are slower 

I'm idling one ten 

It was a hot rod 

Gave my teeth for it

 - Rosemary has asked "us to consider the word 'Beginning' – write anything to do with that word/idea, or perhaps share something which is in itself a beginning".  

 - I chose to post this poem previously posted December 15, 2023.  

 - There I am linked with Saana at dVerse Poetics, at  

    https://dversepoets.com/2024/01/02/poetics-litotes-of-yesterday/ 

 - Saana had us to use "litotes" in our writing.  The closest that I could think of for explaining was that 'understatements' are one example. 

   Saana's formal definition states, "Defining Litotes: Litotes, as a figure of speech, is a rhetorical device used to make an understatement by negating the opposite of the intended message. A double negative is frequently used in this, leading to a positive declaration."
