Sweet Scrub MAG
April 19, 2008
Her smooth fingers
Coat a car windshield
With sun-kissed cream.
Dipped in butter soap,
Sponges soak up dirt,
Reveal the lost glimmer.
She sprays hose-water
Like an April shower,
Onto the glossy hood.
Her shiny reflection
Meanders in droplets
Down metallic doors.
Froth tickles her toes
As a bubble of delight
Escapes from pink lips;
It frolics with soapsuds,
Dancing to the melody
Of her sweet laughter.

I agree with what feedback said. If u love this girl, add more about what makes her great. If it's just a plain old girl, then u need to add some other kind of meaning.

it doesnt have any feelings
if you are writing about somthing you love, then try to make people smile when they read it
if your are writing about somthing you hate then make people feel your anger or your pain when they read it
make their eyebrows burrow
make it so the reader cant help but have an expression
you as a writer i think you have talent but your poem could be a lot better
i now im not a professional but that just my advice and my honest opinion
dont give up keep goinggg!

I love how you take an ordinary task such as washing a car and give it such romance and appeal. This is really good!

I don't get it? What is the point? Yes, people like hidden meanings, but this secret message needs and answer key.

i dont think she is in love with the girl next door...it just seems like an expression of young happiness, i remember always loving washing cars when i was younger. Awesome poem!
