Do any of you write poetry?

What a lovely poem about your "MG classic" Jessica! You covered the senses, providing wonderful imagery, "a fragrance so captivating," "water in her engine boils," "hissing," and "shining sun." You have a sense of the poet in your genes! Well done!

What a lovely compliment, thank you.

Here's a poem I wrote about guacamole...

Guacamole's Rise, Like the Phoenix's Wings

Turning and turning over fields of green,
The ripe avocados cannot hear the farmer.
Mashed and mixed with lime, a symphony,
The taste of guacamole, my palette satiated.

Things fall apart, the center is a pit,
the price of spice is high,
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
A new age is dawning.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards our plates, empty, in mortal servitude,
having fulfilled the prophesy,
Guacamole, forever mine, forever thine.

The shadows deepen, the chips are low,
But guacamole's rise, like the phoenix's rise,
With every bite, followed by imbibement,
for tomorrow, you will have turned brown.

What a light-hearted poem about guacamole's rise (like the Phoenix Wings)! Metaphors abound. We zoom out from "the center is a pit" to "A new age is dawning." Overall, enjoyable!
Now the ending.......

Thought I would bring this up again because there are
some talented poets and lovely poetry on here.
I don't want them to be buried.
Feel free to add yours!

Ya know what I think? Do whatever you WANT to do! There are enough rules and regulations. We certainly don't
need to make up our own! Be FREE! FLY! BE YOUR OWN MAN!

thanks for your advice - I can appreciate where ou are coming from but I need some order in my life ; some discipline - especially when I have a huge international audience.!

I did write some poetry, back in the 70's and 80's. Entered some of them in contests held by an organization called The World of Poetry, in California, I think.
