"Jump Cabling"

"Jump cabling" by Linda Paston appears like it is going to be about someone's car not starting and it is getting jump by another car. "Jump Cabling” uses a unique form it. The writer leaves an empty space in between the last word, almost as if it allows you to put your own word in. The words to the right make this poem intement. These words off to the right intensify this feeling. This feeling is as if the cars are imagery for a bigger emotion. The first lines make it appear as if it is just about cars but then the speaker says When my car like the princess/In the tale woke with a start,/I thought why not ride the rest of the way together?"(Lines 6-8). These sentences reveal that not only is it about car but a relationship of intense feelings. The line that stick in my mind is "By a pulse of pure energy,"(line 5), this sentence adds to the poem because the word choice. These words are strong and add an intense feeling of energy.
