You are just so passionate about everything relating to big rigs that people might wonder if you\u2019re speaking about a vehicle or an actual person you are smitten about. Yeah, me too! It\u2019s been that way all my life. When I see a movie that has a crash scene involving a cool truck, I feel a sense of sadness at the loss of another American big rig, or if the truck happens to be the hero in the movie scene, I get chills and cheer for the truck (like when the Snowman decides to take the lead and finish the bootleg beer run, I was most impressed by how that A-model Kenworth looked as it passed the Trans-Am). Anyway, your love for the people in your life should be clearly more obvious than your love for a truck, but this poem is similar to another one I wrote several years ago called \u201cEverlasting Love\u201d \u2013 it somewhat blurs the line between exalting a beautiful woman or simply doting on a fancy truck. It\u2019s up to the interpretation of the reader to decide which one she is!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO IS SHE?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> By Trevor Hardwick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/JunePoemPic.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19767\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/JunePoemPic-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"JunePoemPic\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/JunePoemPic-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/JunePoemPic-600x347.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/JunePoemPic-1024x592.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/JunePoemPic.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>What can I say about her?<br \/>\nShe\u2019s a jewel, and she\u2019s a gem.<br \/>\nShe\u2019s the one people tend to talk about,<br \/>\nWhen she turns the heads of them.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s a long and tall statement-maker.<br \/>\nShe\u2019s the cream, of cream-of-crops.<br \/>\nShe\u2019s the one that makes you stare,<br \/>\nAnd lose your train of thought.<\/p>\n<p>If we happen to be seen together,<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll forget I\u2019m even there.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t worry, it happens all the time,<br \/>\nAnd I can\u2019t say that I even care.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s a straight-up attention-getter,<br \/>\nDriven by the one she loves.<br \/>\nOr maybe I just think it\u2019s that way,<br \/>\nCause I\u2019m the one who push-n-shoves.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll know her if you ever see her,<br \/>\nShe\u2019s the one who\u2019s set apart.<br \/>\nThe one who cuts a path in any crowd,<br \/>\nAnd the one who has my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Am I speaking of a special woman?<br \/>\nWell, I could be, that is true.<br \/>\nThen again, I could be speaking of a rig,<br \/>\nThe interpretation\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever see this rig\u2026 or woman,<br \/>\nI think it won\u2019t be hard to see.<br \/>\nI love the way she moves, but I swear,<br \/>\nShe\u2019s the one who\u2019s moving me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you the kind of person who gets teased for loving your trucks a little too much?
