Another well crafted poem that does not seem forced. It is hard to fulfill such a structured poetic form and still have a natural flow. Well done.

Hi 60skid,

Good description of a race. In my mind I could see all the things you depicted. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I looked over the rhyming format. You did quite well fitting all of it into place. For that you get an "A".

First of all, good luck in the contest. Next, loved it. Made it seem like we were there at the track. Number 8? Dale? Anyway, following rules in writing is challenging to say the least.

This was truly a fun poem to read. It was my pleasure to read your quirky rhyming verses. This should do well in the contest. I found no errors.

Even without looking at your kind list, your poem was very clear because it was pushed along by the format and rhymes. You immediately had us feel, hear and see your race. Well done.

Great poem. You're quickly becoming one of my favorites. I've loved all of your posts.

One thing:

Got green light( - )hold on tight! > em dash--two dashes--no spaces.

Hey Sixteezkid,

Good one! Did a very good job with this type of poetry. And I got an education about racing! If you like racing I'm sure you've heard of Talledega. I live about an hour's drive from there.

Thanks for sharing this racy poem with us!

smiles,

deb

This poem grabs your interest at the beginning and holds on to it until the end. I couldn't wait to get to the next sentence. Nice ending. Excellent entry for the contest. I've always watched the Indy 500 on television, but last year I finally went for the first time. We had amazing seats and I loved every second of it!
