Directive: None
The sound of
keys jingling,
a car door opening and slamming,
keys in the ignition,
the engine roaring alive,
windows rolling down,
gravel crunches under rubber,
a radio blasting,
a tone-deaf singer crooning,
a gasp,
a foot slamming the brake,
tires squealing,
a relieved sigh,
of German engineering.
I didn’t think I was writing a poem for this post, but it kind of turned into a poem so I’m rolling with it. The idea is to highlight engineering through sound. Every sound that comes out of your car is a direct result of engineering. Car drivers know these sounds of engineering all too well. If my poem was a commercial and the screen was black, with only the noises playing in the background, viewers would understand what was happening. There’s a human connection attached to these sounds, they’re the sounds we hear everyday. The sound of German engineering brings a sense of comfort, it’s reliable and keeps you safe.
