| The Winner by Todd Ellis |
my heart races
as the engines roar
raging metal beasts
accelerating into turn one,
then out of turn two
hurtling down the backstretch
in a blur of paint and chrome
balancing on the edge of catastrophe
racing into turn three
separated by mere inches
at the exit of turn four
diving to the inside lane
completing the pass
right at the start-finish line
only three hundred more laps
of adrenaline-fueled chaos
chasing victory and immortality

Mary, you have definitely captured the excitement of auto racing here!!
I like how the fast-paced tempo matches the racing cars.
