APRIL PAD CHALLENGE DAY THREE

April PAD Day 3, 2015
Today's prompt is MACHINE

THE POWER OF WORDS

I stepped inside
pushed a button
and left my stomach behind

I stepped inside
turned the key
and left the town behind

I stepped inside
fastened the seat belt
and left the Earth behind

I stepped inside
opened the book 
and left the World behind

I wrote another silly poem just for myself.

THE PARKING GARAGE

A hundred  faces
watch my back
But when I turn
they blankly stare
as if unaware, then
their vacant looks
slowly morph
into menacing frowns
Mustaches, eyebrows, 
and shiny teeth
they all stare like
crazed creatures
with headlight eyes
and grills for mouths
grimly grinning
snarly snarling
circly circling
Then I see it
a little red car
with a perky sheen
a bug-eyed Sprite
smiling and bright
With a silly smile
I turn to leave
A hundred faces
watch my back
