This little red demon is driving me mad. Why? Because I can’t come up with a poem or flash fiction piece or even a caption to go with it. Can you? Would love to hear what you come up with. Please post your contribution in the comment column. It will be great to see the results. The little red demon will be pleased too

Ornament Hoods
The Rolls’ Angels
strike a strong pose
And this devil’s
thumbing his nose
Hood ornaments
making statements
But which is rich

A Red Devil
Hood ornament or radiator cap
On a Vauxhall, Citroen or something similar
Found in proximity
Of The Bay to Birdwood
Espousing feelings from a previous age
Thoughts of a politician’s freedom
In recent times
Going for a spin
Thumbing one’s nose
At society’s thoughts
A nonchalant expression
The feeling for the day
The Roaring Twenties
Expressing freedom to drive or ride
In these new-fangled devices
Technology to signal independence
Ever burgeoning suburbs
And peak oil
Thumbing one’s nose at society indeed…!

I like how you’ve captured the exuberance of a previous age & it’s independence of thought & the timeless thumbing of one’s nose 🙂

daemon of the hoodtop
thumbs his nose
at a black Mercedes
as past it goes
cheeky little bugger
with a cheeky little grin
at a motorcycle cop
he thumbs it again

happy travels
Oo la la! I’m on this car,
thumbing my nose at all,
away we go, up the hill
traffic slowed to a crawl
With an attitude, a tiny bit rude
but a sprinkle of joie de vie
I’ll travel miles, lots of smiles
All because of me!
