Woo Hoo!
Bravo!
Great job, Sue. This was easy to read, has great imagery and is packed with excitement. Fabulous! You did a great job at following this challenging format. I enjoyed every line.
In the ess, with finesse,
Passed him; Yes! Back in lead with such speed! <--My fav!
The ending is hilarious. This poem is fantastic - and it makes me, a non-racing fan, disappointed you didn't win the race. haha I was rooting for ya!
I loved the descriptions in your notes. Very helpful.
Fabulous writing.

OMG how did you do it? This is fantastic! The cadence of your words really felt like a race. I laughed out loud at your final words. Excellent rhyming throughout. Good luck in the contest!

Summer, the vers beaucoup clips along very fast, so I picked a fast subject! HA! Thanks so much for all your great compliments and review. Sue

Comment from Fleedleflump
Congratulations on writing a poem that's just about something great, rather than being a romance or a horror etc. This stands out on that alone, but you've also injected it with plenty of visceral intensity, something that goes with both the format and the subject matter.

Mike, thanks for your great compliments. I do love a good car race and the vers beaucoup format sure lends itself well for speed. And thank you for your very kind review. So glad you liked it. With regards, Sue

This description makes it feel like we're right in the car. The phrases "feel my heart, Off the chart" and "Gonna smack that hard wall" really make the action come alive. Good luck in the contest!

Sometimes the restriction of 2 six-star reviews per week is a hindrance.

Comment from Jewell McChesney
On the straight I don't abate. Must be fate;
I'm doing great! On my tail, but he'll fail
Beside the rail. In the ess, with finesse,
Passed him; Yes! Back in lead with such speed
You captured the nuance of the race well with your words racing down the page the way they are! Your poetry is well constructed and this was a fun read.
Wow, I'm all stressed out now. lol

Hey, this is very creative and I really enjoyed it! I love vers beaucoup, I think it's brilliant, but it's hard to keep it going for so many stanzas, that's actually amazing! I am so proud of you!
