Abandoned red pumps
hiding out back in the weeds
dream of gasoline

Author notes
Although I didn't submit this one for the challenge I wanted to post it anyway. It's one of about 4 I wrote after seeing the picture of two rusty red gas pumps discarded among the weeds..

Boy these go back a ways - like how all these are about the same topic, just different views - like haiku - not all can write them as they need more space and more words to get their point across. Enjoyed reading these three, this haiku chain.

Because you requested them... but I didn't post them because I wasn't sure they were quite right.

well done you. I am with nike, where's the others ?

Very Nice
I like it. Where are the other three. You should have posted them all together. You could have seperated them with lines if they didn't go together. I would have loved to have seen them all. -
suggestion
yes i like this one, the final line is good...but i'm a little worried about the second line as it's more of a statement than an image. I notice in your comment that you saw them in the weeds.
Maybe that type of image would make the poem more powerful...
it's just a suggestion, don't know if you like it or not...
