Take a Tour of "Wheels"


            As you look deeply into the poem “Wheels” by Jim Daniels you see that Daniels is speaking of his brother, and how he had pictures of all the cars he has had. He describes the picture and what is going on in it. At the end of the poem we read that there was no camera to save him, possibly indicating a terrible event. If you just glance at the poem you will notice that it has a lot of line breaks, making the poem very thin, all hugging the left margin. You will also notice that the author says each automobile by name. The last few lines of the poem are separated from the rest of the poem, also possibly indicating a life altering event.
