I’ve always dreamed of collaborating and writing for something I cared about and it’s happened! in honour of world poetry day, @bentleymotors commissioned me to write a poem that explains my life experiences through the windows and behind the wheel of the ‘flying spur’ and of course I obliged, it was an honour to write and drive for one of my favourite car brands and one of my favourite car models for such an important day of the arts, happy world poetry day; A day of escape - written and illustrated by me A day of escape, We flee the scene known as reality, We’re swerving in metaphors and Driving in poetry, Tyres burning to reach a destination That remains unknowingly The belts click, the streets are ripped, Seats are gripped, Digesting the next moments, Like French wine sipped, A passenger of Britain’s finest, Sunny skies on this day Like God timed this, Bass booming, Due to radio stations tuned in, A safe space for one to practice Their Rhythmic grooving A mobile Tardis, Enough room for me, My friends and my thoughts But regardless An enjoyable space to be alone. Sitting in seats, One might mistake for a throne, Angelic views make me forget About the sins I need to atone, So cruising is a habit, And the streets is where I steady roam. It’s a luxury, To be exposed to such luxuries, A masseuse in the seats, Yet no ones touching me, The First edition, flying spur A rendition of the finest poetry Is about to occur, That’s The last thought I had before my foot hit The pedal, Sport mode switches Have me thinking I deserve 1st place medal, The engine roars loud, But I Quieten down with my thoughts, Thinking in ways my minds never heard me Trying to focus and stay on course, I take a deep breath and think “Wow, What a philosophical journey” Thinking about all the stripes, This car has earned me True blessings, this chariot has sent me An experience like no other, When I took a trip with Bentley. @bentleymotors @bentleynewsroom #WorldPoetryDay #BentleyPoetrySociety #WorldOfBentley
