Hi Eric,
Glad you got this emotion, tension feel. The mental activities are extremely active during this lonely, automatic drive; all sorts of things come to mind. Thank goodness, there's this CD accompanying the speaker who manages to drive with the rhythm of the song.

Yes, good points.
Song to the Snow -
A song to the snow is what I sing
May your white sheets of glass have mercy on me
For my song to the snow was inspired by this
Snow, snow, coming down
A voice told me not to drive right now
But drive I did to get to work somehow
-- Kathryn Lauer Black _________________ I'm Champagne,
Bottled poetry with sparkling joy. |

With the help and suggestions from the members of other forums, I revised it and hope it is better.
Tinker suggested to stretch it from my original seven syllables per line to an iambic pentameter. My first real metered poem! Not perfect, but hey...
Tony suggested using punctuation marks to add clarity and more color to the poem. He also made a scansion on this poem.
戴玨 pointed out two places where the rhymes are not perfect rhymes and gave a good suggestion of " to and fro".
My appreciation to them all!

The revised version is far more poetic than the original one.
"A hunk of steel still drives without despair" is surely better than "A car drives with no despair." _________________ My throat knew thirst before the structure
