Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition
Her zealous engine roars to life
Her mane stands up proudly in the melancholic street
She sparkles metallic gold in the bright Summer sun
Queen of the concrete jungle
Her eyes gaze directly ahead
Sparkling diamonds in the sunlight
She is focused on the impending journey
Queen of the concrete jungle
She glides through the highway
Her movements far from arduous-effortless, sleek and sharp
She pounces at anyone daring to overtake
Queen of the concrete jungle
She screeches to a halt at the red light
Eyeing her apprehensive competitors in each lane either side
She devours all of them with her speed
Queen of the concrete jungle
