Has anybody read the poem “running on empty” by Robert philips?
mysterious asked:
if so can you explain a bit about it? i need to understand it for my english class. I also need to know why the poet took such pleasure in “running on empty”. and what feeling does the last line create. thanks

no. haven’t read it
No but I heard the song by Jackson Brown!
I’ve read it and for me, it’s like the emotions of a young man wanting an adventure by letting the car go empty on the fuel. What are the characteristics of a teenager? Why would such a young man feel empty still? What are the symbolosims in the poem?If you could answer these questions, you’ll get to understand the poem.It’s quite easy to understand actually.Goodluck.
No, but being from the Rock ‘n Roll era, I have heard and still do enjoy the song.
