Full speed ahead
in and
for the spot light
resting between the breaths
waiting for the next
until
the final rest.
A zooming car, a Speed King.
All day, all night.
All down the highway,
Racing with faces unknown
To prove what he’s got.
Slow down, even with prayer, look at SKY
So easy to forget, as with God, and why?
We THINK we must hurry. Don't. Attend fully.
Lizard mesmerizes prey
Insect wings are quite fast
Eyes swirling about bulge out
Dinner is but a tongue strike away
Let us pray
Legs are faster
than feet...
Feet fastest
than shoes...
We are that react
slowly in life.... !
We entered the Gumball Rally
My driver was “Backstreets” Tally
With his crazy fast car
We still couldn’t get far
Bad math, no gas, in Death Valley
time is a river flowing
it lets nothing stand in its way
~ obstinately speeds in one direction

You know when God cried an ocean
It sunk the whole land of Goshen
But those kids on the Ark
Skinny-dipped in the dark
Noah, of course, had no notion!
Time's tempo like torture is slow
Just part of a youth's ebb and flow
But later the pace
Of each year starts to race
As the old among us must know
Sun;
sizzling sentinel of the skies,
scorcher of worlds,
sits in splendour;
shooting sublime shadows across the
speckled sheet of time.

Weighed the risks of indecision
Not choosing one way or the another
~ yet somehow getting nowhere fast

They make them fast, so why not speed
there not coming last, it’s what they need
Nurses fix a cast, to stop them bleed
let’s have a blast, at what they greed
September just around the corner
summer indulgences so quickly come and gone
~ time slips through our fingers

The rush
The speed
The adrenaline of love
Touch
Feel
Taste
Experience the warmth of what you dream...
of what you watch...
of what you can.
Just climb onto the back of my Harley
And we shall ride to the songs of Bob Marley,
In no time at all
We'll be in Senegal,
Though I might stop for lunch in Kigali.
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
It zoomed by! I saw wheels~~not one paw!
Weird times, I’ve had ‘em.
Mad am I, madam?
My neighbor thought it was a macaw!
Stripping the fingertips off your hand
Snaps quickly, just like a rubber band
You type so fast
Words that will last
Flying speed, it’s nothing like quicksand
Russell Sivey
Actually,
Mind-thoughts
Race faster less the pen.
If only,
The pen could write
alongside the speed of the mind
Perhaps,
All words could be expressed
without mincing and missing.
fast convertible
hair to the wind
fleeting summer rays

they fly through the streets
on ten speed bikes
wearing tight speedos
delighting their men
showing off tattoos and *****
three well-known grannies
who have taught the town to play
My anniversary gift went off the rails.
She sought it shiny with correct details.
Goes from nought to two hundred
in three seconds, so wondered -
But it wasn’t a set of bathroom scales,
Cyclists outrunning the approaching cyclone
Tour de France quickly captures everyone’s attention
Extra incentive to pedal faster

As I travel at warp speed
Through time, it seemed
Motionless and surreal
As my molecules
Tries to catch-up
With my body
Giving away my
Sense of smell
Touch and sight
Until I explode
Somewhere on the North York Moor
Pedal almost through the floor
Engine soon began to roar
Eighty miles per hour for sure
Death comes quick on the A64...
some say
the dinosaurs
all died out
at the same
time
some say
some day
the same
will
happen
to man
kind as we
collide or at
least it
does
with
us
