From interstate 
to racetrack 
cars build up their speed 
racing past troopers 
who don't know 
which one to pull over


Damsel In Distress

The distressed damsel
A circuitous racetrack...
Sheer Liberation!

Premium Member Horse Racing 100th Poem

Have you been to a race with a horse?
There are many who like them, of course.
Who wins?  We don’t know.
We can win, place, or show.
Any nearby racetrack is the source.

Reap Bad Deeds

As ye sow, you get the maybe corn, and reap, the stinking uncooked prawn, cos ye n me are slack .... ones deed comes up to speed , like car on the racing track, it comes around yes indeed, next time it gives you a smack, karma on the racetrack steed, a hurting memory Jack, why the silly bludger always bleeds, elementary, it talks back....

Premium Member Blurred Frenzy

the minutes
the hours
the days
in wild frenzy
whistle by

before long
weeks turn
to months
to years

on the racetrack
life in a blur
careens at
headpopping speed
i can barely hang on

yet
every once
in a while
it pauses
for a rare
precious moment

i take a deep breath
and thank god
you’re still here
by my side

Premium Member Child's Play

They stretched out their arms
Ran with the wind
A circular flight
No beginning – to end

When they came back
Sat down to a snack
Then took a quick spin
Around the racetrack

Onlookers wondered
What would it be like
To do all those things 
From the seat of a bike

To fly like a kite
On the end of a string
Climb in a tree
Join the bird's sing

Hide in tall grass
Become a small bug
Say goodnight to a bear
then give it a hug

Our Town's Oval

Years have long dashed and sprinted
Round and round our town's old oval
Now abandoned, gone under to grass
An eerie site even for the bravest local

Some say on drizzle-darkened nights
The racetrack does visibly tremble
With cheers and raucous jubilations
Races fought by the fast and the nimble

Screams surge from a non-existent crowd
Echo distant yet distinct in the mind
Of one who has long been absent
From a neighborhood left so far behind.

The Racetrack

The Racetrack 

   A momentous and thrilling place 
   where people lose their pace 
   looking through the columns of the racing form.

  They seem to be cheerful 
  when they hear of their horse name Fearful 
  getting into position with Takeoff.

  The time has come and the bell has rung
  and off with a speeding start
  around on the first lap and straight for home 
  The people are shouting for Fearful to come home!

Reply....As ye sow, you get corny, 
and reap uncooked forlorn prawnys .... 
ones deed comes up to speed , 
car on the racing track, 
comes around yes indeed, 
next time it gives you a smack,
 karma on the racetrack steed, 
a hurting memory Jack
