The Car Ride

The purpose of this writing is to show how I can shape my text for audience. In this poem I have tried to slow the pace of my writing. By carefully selecting line breaks and choosing words that show how bored I really was.

The car ride

Fields on all sides

Staring blankly at passing lines

Feeling like life has stopped moving.

Talking to your reflection on the window

Ignoring the sound of country music next to me.

My parents talking about finances.

Thinking of the place you're going.

Thinking if its going to be boring or not  

Arriving and thinking wow that was a boring ride.
