Chaos as poetry

I was reading the most recent blog entry from a local paramedic (syndicated here as night_runs), and I had to laugh at a description of a recent auto accident they responded to recently. As it was described, the car had gone "Boot over bonnet with a pirouette." I can't think of a more poetic way to describe what had to be a pretty horrific crash. Not only that, it paint a pretty clear picture of what happened. Great piece of wordsmithing, that. Only rarely do I actually succeed in producing such wonderful text, which makes me wonder if I've really got the chops to be a writer. Maybe I should focus on my photography?
